Power BI Alert Frequency

[katherine2999]

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is anyway we can configure the alert frequency. I know we can use logic apps, but the frequency there is not used, because Power BI Service only send out alert either every hour or every day. Can frequency be customized?

Regards,

Kathy

Has anyone else used alerts much? I've been using them recently and found them to be VERY limited!

I have a dataset that refreshes every hour at a certain time, and an Alert set up based on this refresh if a value goes below a certain threshold. I have configured the Alert to be at most once an hour (the lowest granularity).

The issue is that data finishes refreshing at different times. So in the example below, I don't get an Alert for the latest refresh because it is like 30secs within the hour, which is really poor if you have something critical you need to be notified of!

Ideally you should be able to get an alert regardless if it was within the last hour or not.

Hi @katherine2999,

Currently, we are not able to customize the notification frequency  of data alert. Regarding to this issue, you can submit a feature request in the Power BI ideas forum: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200.
