What’s new in PowerBI Robots 2.4.8

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]The latest version of PowerBI Robots addresses a couple of critical bugs while introducing some features. There is new stuff to find in both the desktop and web agent, so we’ll go over each:[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”h4″ text_weight=”font-weight-bold” el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″]What’s new in the desktop agent:[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text el_class=”mb-adapt-3 mt-adapt-3″ max_width=””]

  • Fixed the Power BI tokens expiration date issue – the Power BI API authentication tokens have a small expiration date, and that could result in a processing issue that prevented reports from being processed and sent. If you ever send large playlists, you probably recognize it: only the first reports in your playlist were correctly processed. This happened because the authentication token expired in the meantime. The issue is fixed with this version, so your playlists are now processed correctly.
  • ToolTips are now available in the provider tab – If you need assistance configuring your email, hover on information icons to see what you need to do.
  • You can now send emails from an anonymous address – If you wish to simply test PowerBI Robots with an SMTP server that doesn’t require authentication, you can now tick an “Anonymous Authentication” box in the PowerBI Robots desktop agent to send your playlist;

  • You can now add tokens to your JSON files – Up until this version, you could only use text inputs when editing the JSON in the Visuals tab. You can now replace filters with the corresponding token without the need to use single quotation marks.
  • Fixed a recurrence issue – fixed a bug that affected monthly scheduled playlists.
  • Public documentation is now in the menu – the PowerBI Robots Public API is now accessible from the menu in the web agent. Enabling and disabling playlists are the only functions currently available.

  1. Hi, I would like to report a bug: the current Month is not coming over as a 2 digit month as shown. We are trying to piece the date together like this “ReportName_20200320.pdf” but it is spitting out “ReportName_2020320.pdf” notice the 3 is single digit in the second example
