Hi, guys!
I'm trying to use our process controling platform Pipefy as a database in our Power BI analysis.
In the last months, I was just downloading files and replacing them in a folder in my desktop. However, it seems that Power BI, now, offers Pipefy as an option of "database" that is still in Beta.
When I tried to schedule automatic refreshs using this dataset ("Database Test"), I got the error:
In the first, sentence of the error it says (in portuguese):
"You can't schedule refresh to this dataset because this database doesn't offer support to that.
Database 'COM | Vendas Hype (em construção)' Cards" (something like that)
"Query contains unkown function name: Pipefy.Contents"
How should I proceed? I am still learning lots of things in here... sooo really appreciate some help!
Thanks guys!
Hi @SuperHyp ,
>>"Query contains unkown function name: Pipefy.Contents"
According to your error message, it seems like data access function Pipefy.Contents not available on power bi service side.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you use web connector to get data from pipefy API.(you not need to configure gateway to handle online datasource refresh)
Pull data from a REST API Authentication
