Business value

This feature helps you translate insights to action. With Power Automate visual, you can run an automated flow from a Power BI report. Furthermore, the executed flow can be data contextual, passing in dynamic data based on the filters you set.

Feature details

When you create a Power Automate visual in a Power BI report, your users can run an automated flow, just by selecting a button in your report. The flow can be data contextual, meaning that the flow inputs can be dynamic, based on the filters the users set.

You can later edit the flow with different data fields to use as data inputs. You can also change formatting, such as button text, font color, font size, or fill color of the button. You can enable permission for any user to edit the flow, in addition to running it.

This feature is currently in public preview and documented in Create a Power Automate visual for Power BI (preview).

With the general availability update, you can see flows outside the Default environment and support for all regions Power Automate is available in.
