How to Set Data Activator Trigger to Check Every 30 Minutes?

[Kedar_Pande]

I have a Power BI report in Import mode connected to Azure Table Storage, with the dataset refreshing every 30 minutes. I set up a Data Activator trigger to send an email, but the trigger checks every hour by default, and I can't find an option to adjust this.

Is there a way to configure Data Activator to check every 30 minutes while staying in Import mode?

Alternatly how to convert dataset to streaming dataset.

You cannot convert anything - need to start over.  Real-time streaming in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Note the nice little blue box.  Streaming datasets we planned to be deprecated last October but after public outcry Microsoft extended that to October 2027

Hi @Kedar_Pande ,

Thanks for lbendlin's reply!
And @Kedar_Pande , Data Avtivator currently detects once an hour by default, and there is no way to change this frequency. If possible, you can try to query the data you need to detect in the KQL Queryset using Kusto statements, and then set an alarm in the KQL Queryset. At this time, you can set the query running frequency, which may meet your needs.

If you want to convert dataset to streaming dataset, in addition to the document provided by lbendlin, you can also refer to this document:
