power automate to download SSRS report as PDF

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sai009 2
I have a scenario where I need to download the SSRS report from D365 and save the file to sharepoint using power automate. I found few articles online to do this by using invoke an HTTP request but to do this I need to pass the reportXML and methods used to get this are not available for me. I opened the report viewer and opened the dev tools and tried to find the CRM_Filter under form data and this is not visible. 
 
Is there any other way to get this reportxml? or Is there any other better way to run the SSRS report by passing recordid as a parameter then download PDF to save in sharepoint?
 
Any assistance will be helpful.

    Yes—there are better and more supported ways than trying to extract reportxml when working with SSRS reports in the Microsoft ecosystem.
     
    What you’re trying to do
    • Run an SSRS report
    • Pass a recordId (parameter)
    • Generate PDF
    • Save to SharePoint
    reportxml is not the right approach for this scenario.
     
    Best approach (recommended)
    Use SSRS Report URL (simple & effective)
    If your report is hosted in:
    • SQL Server Reporting Services
    • or Dynamics 365 SSRS
    You can call it via URL:
     
    https://<server>/ReportServer?/ReportPath
    &rs:Command=Render
    &rs:Format=PDF
    &recordid=<GUID>

    Then:
    • Call this URL from:
      • Microsoft Power Automate
    • Use HTTP action
    • Save response as PDF to SharePoint
