Adding data alerts and email notifications to dashboards

Alerts can be configured on the tiles of dashboards to provide notification that a specific condition has been met. Alert rules and options can be managed in the Power BI service, and notifications can be limited to the notification center in Power BI or shared via email. Data-driven alerts enhance the value of Power BI dashboards, as they immediately bring attention to significant events or outcomes as the dataset supporting the dashboard tile is refreshed.

In this recipe, an alert is configured on a KPI visual represented in a dashboard tile. Additionally, an example is provided of automating email delivery of notifications via Microsoft Flow based on a Power BI data alert.
