Subscription with validation
Hi all,
My goal is to share schedulated update to users with updated PBI report, via email with link and picture (of report page). Curently I use PBI scheduled subscription, but the downside is that it doesn't check if report was actualy updated correctly.
I can create an alert that checks if report was updated and then use PowerAutomate to create a flow that sends an email, the problem here is that i can't put an image of the report page in the email.
Both features (update check and picture) are crucial.
Any suggestions?

IF you want to add an image from the Power BI report into the mail what you can do is to take a screenshot of the image and then put it in the Power Automate just like the email from Power BI. which you received!
Have a look at this too what if it might help you

- What do you mean by 'report was updated'? Does the data not change every day or are there errors happening in the report refresh?
- Hi there
For report subscriptions is this Power BI reports or Paginated reports?
It would appear to be paginated reports? If so I would look at either scheduling them at a time when you have more resources available. Or to to increase the memory allocated to Paginated reports.
Hello Anonymous
You can try this!
What we can do is while creating a flow for the Email subscriptions we can add an image over there and the link of the report, so as the data will be updated the Flow will be triggered and mail will be sent with the Link and the Image!
And yes, as you said Power BI email subscriptions doesn't check for the update before sending the emails.
If you like my solution give it a Kudos!
And if it solves your problem accept it as a solution.

Hi Nimai123 ,
Indeed it seems like a possible solution. Could you plese elaborate on how do you add an image of selected report page to the body of email generated in the Flow?
Thank you
