Can Power Automate check if entry was already alerted on?

Posted on by Gerbil

I created a power automate process that pulls from a power bi dashboard. It sends email alerts when someone has more than 20 jobs listed under their ID. Is there a way for Power Automate to check if it has already alerted the same count of jobs with userID before sending a new alert? I need sort of a real-time alert so I'm going to set it to run every 15min. But I don't want it to resend the same email alert every 15min because management hasn't resolved the case yet. But I would like it to send another alert if the job count increases.

Hi @Gerbil ,

Unless in the PBI dashboard, you have data to tell the flow which items have been calculated before, I don't think that's possible.

Best regards,

You might be able to tackle this by registering the result back to OneDrive or something similar.
You can create a key by concatenate the ID and the count of jobs. You then pass on the key to a separate file at the end of the flow, as well as checking the existence of the key at the start of the flow to determine if a new alert needs to be sent out.
