(1) ShareShare

Posted on by DK-24041742-0 Microsoft Employee
Hi,
 
Problem Statement: Whenever user Submit Request to get access to the Power BI report, a custom email should be sent to the user with additional information to get access to the report.
I looked up in co-pilot and looks like there is a Trigger called 'Power Bi Activity Log' that has access to requestor name, email id. 
 
How can I get access to the Power Bi Activity Log or enable access to the get Activity Events API for my Power Automate workspace. Also happy to know if there are any alternate solutions for it.
 
Thanks,
Dipali

    While you can technically access the Power BI Activity Log using the admin API, it requires elevated permissions and is not designed for real-time automation scenarios like sending emails on access requests.
     
    The recommended approach is to implement a custom request mechanism using Power Automate (via Power Apps, Forms, or SharePoint), which provides real-time, reliable, and fully customizable behavior.

    Thanks for your reply. Do you have any recommendations on how to implement a custom request mechanism using Power Automate (via Power Apps, Forms, or SharePoint), when someone submits a request access ?
