Recurrence trigger that ends when a power BI alert is triggered

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
I have a recurring Flow that starts at 730 am which updates a PBI report every 5 minutes. I am using this to check if the source data for our main report has finished because the system is new and the timing is never the same in the mornings. Once this report runs and picks up refreshed data, it triggers an alert in power BI which runs the rest of the report refreshes. I would like to use this alert to stop the recurring flow until the next day to cut down on the amount of times its running each day. Is there a way to do that.

    Instead of stopping the flow, add a simple flag (e.g. in SharePoint or Dataverse).

    • Set flag = false by default
    • Recurrence flow (every 5 min):
      → check flag
      → if false → continue
      → if true → terminate
    • Power BI alert flow:
      → when triggered → set flag = true
    • Add a separate flow to reset the flag to false next day (before 7:30 AM)

    This way the flow still runs, but effectively does nothing after the alert.
