What is PowerBI Reflex (Preview) and is it here to stay?

[GhislainComeau]

When creating a new report in PowerBI Service, i notice a new item called Reflex (Preview) and Reflex Sample (Preview). i tried looking on youtube for videos and on the microsoft website for information but can't seem to find anything. is this a relable of a service that is already available or is this something brand new that may disapear?

it looks a little more robust then the current setup for data alerts currently in PowerBI Dashboards.

HI @GhislainComeau ,

I am not positive that this is a Power BI thing itself but rather is an add-on at your organization.  Could you provide some screenshots or more details?  I did find some information on "reflex" in GitHub as a separate item, not necessarily connected to Power BI.

This is for the Data Activator feature that is in preview.  Seems to have been introduced this May (https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-US/blog/driving-actions-from-your-data-with-data-activator/)

There are regular updates documented in the Fabric updates (https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-fabric-august-2023-update?ft=Data-activator:c...)

I haven't played with it yet, but will do so soon.
