Anonymous, you can setup a flow data trigger to send an email with Power BI however, I don't understand your full requirements of the email.

As per my knowledge when ever refresh got failed then only you get the mail.

If your using Import method You can create seperate scheduled task for data refresh.

In Power BI Service dataset settings you can see the refresh history.

Hi Venu,

You can set up the scheduled refresh to from Monday to Friday. Then the email subscription won't email you on Saturday and Sunday because the dataset isn't updated. Please also refer to #considerations-and-troubleshooting for the limitations of email subscription.
