Power BI: Keep reports current, connected, and governed
Power BI brings together data from across your business. Tray connects Power BI to your other systems so datasets refresh, permissions stay aligned, and reports reach the right teams automatically. Every refresh, share, and action happens under IT control.
Power BI and Tray
Power BI turns data into dashboards, but it doesn’t control when or how those dashboards update across systems. Tray connects Power BI with data pipelines, collaboration tools, and IT systems so refreshes, alerts, and permissions flow together. Tray’s universal connector extends beyond Power BI’s native automation options, enabling governed workflows that refresh datasets, notify teams, and keep reporting consistent.
Build
Build agents with Tray and Power BI
Tray agents interact with Power BI through secure, scoped APIs to surface dashboards, share reports, or check refresh status across systems. Teams can also build their own data sources when deeper Power BI context is needed.
Give agents the context they need to act confidently.
- Build a Power BI data source in Tray to query approved reports and metadata through Power BI APIs.
- Extend how agents access, summarize, and share insights while keeping access governed.
Automations
Automations with Tray and Power BI
From trigger to action, Tray automates how Power BI connects to the rest of your environment. Refresh completions, failures, or permission changes can start workflows that update systems, notify teams, or open review steps. Tray keeps workflows reliable through timestamps, status checks, and API-managed retries so every refresh or alert runs in sequence and under governance. Workflows can include logic, branching, and approvals to manage Power BI actions alongside your other IT and data systems.
Integrations
Integrations with Tray and Power BI
Power BI integration capabilities
Integrate Power BI with 700 + applications plus any system with an API using our HTTP connector. Everything you need to automate and manage Power BI reporting comes out of the box.
Integrations defined here can also serve as agent tools in Tray Merlin Agent Builder, enabling Power BI actions to run safely within governed, multi-step workflows.
Control when and how data updates across your environment.
- Trigger dataset refreshes on demand or after upstream jobs completeMonitor refresh history and status for success, failure, or latency
- Update dataset parameters or credentials for dynamic pipelines
- Retrieve dataset lists, owners, and refresh schedules for governance
FAQs
Yes. Workflows can trigger dataset refreshes directly through the Power BI API or in response to external data events.
