Power Automate Visual in Power BI Only Works for You? (Share the Flow)
If your Power Automate visual in Power BI works for you but not for other users, this video explains why.
This is a common issue that applies to all Power Automate visuals in Power BI, including:
• refresh buttons
• approval flows
• any flow triggered from a report
The problem
When you create a flow from a Power Automate visual:
• it works perfectly for you
• but other users can’t trigger it
The reason is simple:
👉 the flow is not shared automatically
The tricky part
The Share option is not easy to find.
To access it, you need to:
• click the visual
• click Edit
• open Edit flow
• go back
Only then you’ll see the Share button.
Another important detail
When you share the flow:
• users automatically receive an email
• the email contains a link to the flow, not the report
This can be confusing if they are not expecting it.
Key takeaway
Power Automate visuals in Power BI do not automatically work for all users.
You must share the flow explicitly, otherwise the functionality is limited to you.
