Hi @Anonymous ,

 

To refresh a dataflow or dataset using the power shell, please refer to the following article.

How to refresh Power BI Dataflows with PowerShell

 

As ibarrau says, some features are currently in preview and careful consideration needs to be given to using them in a production environment. For more support, you can click here.

Hi. It might be possible to run a powershell script in power automate (it's a feature under preview and premium), but I wouldn't recommend that because the component might be unstable for now and probably won't be able to add a library if  you need one besides the ones provided by the engine.

You can just do it with Power Automate components: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-schedule-unlimited-power-bi-dataset-refreshes-with-a-simple-po...

Just in case you want to read about refreshing with powershell locally: https://www.nickyvv.com/2020/06/refresh-a-power-bi-dataset-with-powershell-and-a-service-principal.h...

I hope that helps,
