Data Activator not trigger the alers only send me a test action working

[Dineshkumar2512]

I created a reflex and set the conditions. However, the alert does not trigger automatically when the conditions are met; only the test action works fine. Why are the alerts not being triggered automatically?"

Hi @Dineshkumar2512 

these could be potential issues why your Data Activator alerts are not triggering automatically, even though the test action is working:

Data Refresh Frequency: Data Activator may not be detecting changes in real-time. It typically checks for updates every 5 minutes at the fastest. If your data source isn’t refreshing frequently enough, the alerts may not trigger as expected.
2. Direct Lake Dataset Issue: If you’re using a Direct Lake dataset, there’s a known bug where Data Activator doesn’t notice changes unless you manually refresh the dataset. This is a current limitation that Microsoft is working to fix.
3. Threshold Configuration: Ensure that your alert conditions are correctly set. For example, if you’re using a “becomes greater than” condition, it will only trigger when the value crosses the threshold from below, not if it’s consistently above the threshold.

To troubleshoot:
1. Verify that your data source is refreshing as expected.
2. If using Direct Lake, try manually refreshing the dataset.
3. Double-check your alert conditions and thresholds.
4. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and capacity.
5. Monitor the Data Activator logs for any error messages.
