Hi,

I have built few alerts in Power BI dashboard, visual Card and with rules. When i try to create automated cloud data flow, i select "When a data driven alert is triggered" as the trigger. When i try to select the alert parameters, no item is listed. I check my alert in Power BI, the alert is active and i try to trigger it manually by refreshing the data in Power BI and it works fine.

I try to build data flow, when the alert is triggered, it will send email to certain people. I check all the connection, everything is fine and green checked. What may caused my alert is not listed in Power Automate? by the way, i have Premium Per User license for my Power BI.

Hi @CU08061146-0,

Have you tried using the title of the alert as a custom value? Afaik that should also work:

Hi @Expiscornovus

I did try Custom Value but my flow still fail when i test it. The thing is, the alert works fine. i received the notification in power BI when i refresh the data manually from power BI.

This is my basic flow, When a data driven alert is triggered -> Outlook Send Email (V2). When i use the title of the alert as the alert id, after saving it, i test the flow. That is when the problem happens. the test takes forever and i have to force stop it by refreshing the browser (at some point, i waited for an hour for the test to finish but it still loading). I think my Power Automate is the problem since the alert works fine in power BI but im not so sure.

Based on your description, the most common root causes are:

The alert was created on a report visual rather than a dashboard tile.

The alert is in a workspace that the Power BI connector cannot properly enumerate.

The alert owner and Power Automate connection user are different.

A Power BI connector caching/synchronization issue is preventing the alert from appearing.

Next Step

Create a new Card visual in a dashboard within My Workspace, configure a fresh data alert, wait 10–30 minutes, and then create a brand-new Power Automate

flow. If the new alert appears in the dropdown, the issue is with the original alert configuration rather than your license or Power Automate setup.

Hello again,

@Expiscornovus @11manish

Ok, i did tried the alert in my older workspace (i created before 2026), all the alerts work fine with Power Automate. all the alerts are listed in the parameters. I don't know what changes in 2026, seems like the alert that i made in 2026 workspace did not appear in Power Automate. For now, i will only utilize my older workspace for this alert issue.

Thank you for your guy's support.
