Image
The integration between Power Automate and Power BI opens up several interesting use cases that combine the power of workflow automation with data visualization and analysis capabilities. Here are some examples: Automated data refresh: Power Automate can be configured to trigger the refresh of Power BI datasets. For example, you can create a workflow that runs on a scheduled basis (e.g., daily, weekly) and refreshes the dataset connected to a specific data source. Alternatively, you can set up a workflow that triggers a refresh when certain conditions are met, such as when new data is added to a connected database or when an API endpoint provides an update. Data-driven alerts and notifications: Power Automate can monitor specific data thresholds or conditions in Power BI reports or dashboards and trigger automated alerts or notifications. For instance, you can set up a workflow that checks a sales report daily and sends an email notification to the sales team if the total sales for t...
