  1. Create a new flow: Go to Power Automate and create a new automated flow.
  2. Choose a trigger: Select a trigger that can be activated from Power BI. Typically, you would use the "When an HTTP request is received" trigger.
  3. Configure the HTTP request: Set up the request with any necessary parameters or headers.
  4. Add an action to trigger the pipeline: Use the HTTP action to make a request to the Microsoft Fabric pipeline API endpoint.
  5. Save the Flow: Save and test your flow to ensure it works as expected.
  6. Add a button in Power BI with an action:
    • Select the button, then go to the Action settings in the format pane.
    • Toggle the Action to On.
    • Set the Type to Web URL.
    • Enter the URL generated by the Power Automate flow for the Web URL. This URL is the endpoint that triggers your flow when accessed.

Sorry, but I don't have a premium account, so I can't use  "When an HTTP request is received" trigger.

you can use other methods like triggering the flow based on data changes or using Power BI's custom visuals to trigger the pipeline indirectly. 

Thanks for quick response. Could you please expaline in depth how I can use Power BI's custom visuals to trigger the pipeline indirectly.
