In this video, you'll learn how to use Power Automate to automatically post the contents of a Power BI Metric (formally Goal) Check-in to a Teams chat message.

Note: This video was made when Power BI Metrics were called Goals.

We'll use the 'When someone adds or edits a Metric check-in' trigger in Power Automate to trigger the flow. We'll then get the Power BI Metric information so we have any of the field values in the Metric available to us.

Finally, we'll construct a custom dynamic message, including the Metric notes information and current and target values then post it to a Teams channel chat.

It's an example of how a manager or stakeholder can automatically keep up-to-date with the latest Metric check-ins, without having to open up Power BI Metrics and manually check for updates.
