Hi @Avivek ,

Hi @Avivek 

 

If you use a Power BI button to trigger the flow, the refresh will only be started when someone click the button. Instead of triggering the refresh by a button, you can try the suggestion @davehus has provided to create a scheduled cloud flow to start the refresh at scheduled times. Reference: Run flows on a schedule in Power Automate - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs
