Using a PowerBI report to trigger a flow

Hello,

I'm wanting to use data contained within a PowerBI report to trigger a flow, is this possible? The report currently uses logic to determine what is incorrect about an invoice, which stops it passing through automation with three way matching. When an invoice, matching a purchase order appears on the report, I want the flow to be triggered.

Thanks,

Michael

Power BI does have built in triggers:

I don't think these triggers match what you're looking for. To accomplish your goal, you can use a Recurrence trigger to run after each time your Power BI report refreshes (but sure to include the length of time the report takes to run when setting your Automate recurrence trigger times)

Then you would query the dataset and look for a match:

For "trigger" you would have to create an activator from a Power BI visual (containing a measure). Highly unstable. Go with the polling as suggested by @Tomac
