How to connect Microsoft Power BI and Github

Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft Power BI and Github

In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Microsoft Power BI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft Power BI or Github will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Power BI or Github, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft Power BI Node

Select the Microsoft Power BI node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Microsoft Power BI, Github, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft Power BI and Github integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Power BI and Github (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Power BI and Github

Microsoft Power BI + Github + Slack: When errors are detected within a Power BI report, an issue is automatically created in Github to track the bug. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the team.

Github + Microsoft Power BI + Jira: Every new commit to a Github repository triggers a report update in Power BI to track code changes. If the commit message indicates a bug fix, a corresponding task is created in Jira.
