PowerBINotAuthorizedException error in Power BI Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19

Hi there,

I've been trying to set up a flow that will send an email to a distribution list when a Power BI alert is triggered. I've been using the template called 'Send an e-mail to any audience when a Power BI data alert is triggered'. When I try to create the flow I get the error 'PowerBINotAuthorizedException'. The steps I followed and full error details are below.

 

This is what the connections look like when I set up the flow: https://imgur.com/SSioz0c

It's able to read my alerts from Power BI so it's clearly connecting to it. Once the flow is set up and I click on it, there's an error message to fix the trigger: https://imgur.com/i7BwBbR

When I click on the above it outputs the below error message:

    I am receiving the same error when trying to trigger a flow qith the Power Bi connector.  I have had this trigger work previously, but now after several rebuilds and reconnects, I am continuously getting an error with the trigger.
