I was wondering if it is possible to notify / send an email to the PowerBI report subscribers whenever there is a new change to the data in the report?
I saw that the only current options are for periodic notifications (hourly, daily, etc.) and after refreshing, but they are not that helpful. The problem is that there might not be updates once the data refreshes and this notification would be useless. I am interested in sending notifications once new data comes in.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution or a work-around?
Best regards,
Denis
Report Subscriptions are, by design, simplistic.
Power Automate provides the building blocks for many more sophisticated subscription scenarios. So with
Export and email a Power BI report with Power Automate
And
Unlocking new self-service BI scenarios with ExecuteQueries support in Power Automate
You could run a query on a schedule to determine if any new data is available, and if so Export and email a report.
Work-around solution (which is not that elegant).
I created a measure that computes the desired number and displayed it in a card. I pinned this card in PowerBI Service (after publishing the report) as a scoreboard / goal. Then I have set an alarm with a specific threshold which triggers an email notification once this threshold is exceeded.
I created a flow in Power Automate which checks if the threshold has been exceeded and automatically send a PDF to the users.
I could have stopped at the goal alarm notification but this would mean that the users have to set their own alarm individually & manually. By creating the Automate flow, I only have to add their email to the list and they would be notified whenever the threshold is exceeded.

I am trying to create an alert on my saved search that will email when any of our sales channels do not have an order created within 2 hours.
This is the results criteria for the saved search
The lead source are the sales channels, and maximum of date created is the last time there was an order created. If it goes past 2 hours I want to be notified via email.
This is not possible to create purely within the UI.
You could create a scheduled script which will load the search, parse the results for any that are older than your threshold, and send the email from the search. This would run periodically depending on your deployment settings. Scheduled scripts can be deployed to run every 15 minutes, so the latest order may be up to ~2:15 old before the alert is sent.
Another approach may be to use a workflow which initiates on record creation and then has a 2 hour delay. Following the delay it could run a search for any newer orders, then if any are found it could simply exit, or if no newer orders are found it could proceed to sending an email. The actual implementation of running the saved search and acting based on the results will probably require a SuiteScript custom workflow action.
We've been doing a bunch of bulk fixing of issues in our codebase (deprecated code usage, mostly) and every time the analysis kicks off next, everyone gets 10-100-1000 individual emails detailing the status changes that occurred.
Is there any way to consolidate all this information into a single email so users don't end up being unable to tell what's going on due to sheer bulk of repetitive information?
I really don't want to have to turn off the notification emails and implement my own email mechanism if I've just missed a setting or plugin somewhere.
You can change the user notification subscriptions. Here are the different notifications a SonarQube can set in 6.7:
Background tasks in failure on my administered projects
Changes in issues assigned to me
New quality gate status
Issues resolved as false positive or won't fix
New issues
My new issues
Either keep only “My new issues” or unassign issues that will not be fixed by the author.

I have data coming in to a MySQL instance and I want to be able to analyze time-seperated data and generate a report based on that. What would be the best software/method to make use of? Would Jasper reports be of use here?
Free/open source would be preferable. The reports can go out to a number of preset emails assigned based on the data being reported on. For example, Site A which will have a report sent out every hour based on the incoming data would go out to a managed list of 4 or 5 people, and so forth.
I think you should take a look at DBxtra, and specifically at the Schedule Server component which lets you send reports in emails automatically and unattended every certain time, although it's not free (there is a fully functional trial version however).
If you insist on it being free, i think that you can use any option you want (i prefer Jasper Reports), but you'll need to create and send the emails by hand or make a solution yourself as the option to send emails automatically it's not present on the free tiers.
P.S.: I'm a DBxtra evangelist.
I have a google spreadsheet which helps us to track some stocks prices from the NASDAQ and DOWJONES. When I open the spreadsheet the prices automatically refresh via google finance built-in functions.
That is, for instance, the Apple price in a certain cell:
=GoogleFinance("AAPL";"price")
So far so good. Now we have a target buying price for each value and when the price falls below our target price we get an alert. I have written a script so that when this happens it sends me an email notification. Moreover, I have also configured a time-driven trigger which executes the script every 5 minutes.
But WHAT I really need is the WHOLE spreadsheet to open every 5 minutes not just only the script so that the Google finance funcions load and get the updated stock prices.
Is there a way to do that?
Not sure if this is the best approaching for a stock tracking spreadsheet so any ideas will be highly appreciated.
A standalone script will open a spreadsheet but it does not wait for the functions like GoogleFinance to complete so you may need to put in an explicit wait or loop until complete
I'm evaluating Jopr 2.3.1 to monitor a JBoss 4.2.3 Application Server.
Jopr, based on the better known RHQ Project from Redhat, supports to send email notifications triggered by so called alerts. Alerts can be defined to react to certain changes of system parameter such as metrics (e.g. 'Active Thread Count', 'JVM Free Memory') or the availability (e.g. goes UP, goes DOWN) changes.
I'm now wondering if it's also possible to send a for instance weekly status report by email?
Just to make sure: This email notification is to be send periodically, indipendent of the regular alter notification, rather problems occured or not.
Many thanks in advance - every hint is appreciated
Tobias
RHQ 3 (anything Jopr related is old and outdated) has server side plugins.
They can be alert notification senders that let you e.g. connect to a trouble ticket system for alert notifications.
They can also be more generic and can be triggered periodically via an "internal cron". The latter may be what you want for report sending. In fact, Mazz has already written an example plugin generating a report on file system - you would only need to change the "write to disk" to "send email".
