Update Power BI App Using Power Automate (or other options)

[PatrickGreen]

Hi! 

Is there a way to update the Power BI App (NOT refresh the dataset) using Power Automate? 

I am trying to find it in the list of Power Automate actions related to Power BI, but I cannot seem to find it.

If it's not possible through Power Automate, do you have other suggestions as to how the update of the Power BI app can be done on a schedule automatically?

Thanks.

this ""groups/{workspaceId}/apps/{appId}/Update"" path is not documented anywhere.
And F12 tracing of "update app" in edge browser points to completely different API that also requires whole app definition as payload.

Anybody has simple and working solution?

Hi @PatrickGreen 

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

As of now, Power Automate does not natively support updating or publishing a Power BI App. While it offers several built-in actions related to Power BI such as refreshing datasets, exporting reports, and retrieving report content it does not include functionality to publish or update a Power BI App. 

I recommended you  to submit this feature request to the Power BI Ideas forum.

Hi,

I cant get the API endpoint to work, you sure this is valid? Can you share any documentation on this?

Thanks!

Hi, are you sure this works?

• API Endpoint: POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{workspaceId}/apps/{appId}/Update

I can't find any documentation for this, and it is not working for me either.

Thanks for this @v-karpurapud ! I just got busy at work. But I will explore the solution you outlined.

Has this solution worked for you? Were you able to update an app through the API using this "groups/{workspaceId}/apps/{appId}/Update"?
