Data Activator Power BI Report Alert

[saud968]

I have created an alert if the condition is true for 6 hours, but I am still getting an alert every hour—any clue on how I can get this working as needed?

Hi @saud968 ,
Thanks for engaging with Fabric Community,

Just to clarify, Data Activator checks conditions by default every hour and there is no way to change this frequency. So if the condition remains true, it can trigger an alert each hour during those checks.

References:

The “Time elapsed” setting means: How long Data Activator should wait before treating the condition as no longer true if no new data arrives.

Time Elapsed 

So in your setup:

>The condition is being checked every hour. Since data is arriving regularly and the condition stays true, alerts are triggered each hour.

>If you want to avoid repeated alerts, you might need to add some logic using Power Automate to limit how often alerts are sent.

In a similar discussion, the suggested approach is to use a KQL Queryset with a Kusto query to detect the condition. You can then create an alert based on that query, and in this case, you have control over how frequently the query runs. Solved: Re: How to Set Data Activator Trigger to Check Eve... - Microsoft Fabric Community
