Microsoft Fabric’s Data Activator is a no‑code detection-to-action layer (now public preview) that watches Power BI models and real‑time event streams, detects patterns (thresholds, sustained breaches, rate changes) and fires actions (currently email, Teams, Power Automate). Demo uses TfL bike data: ~800 docking stations, ~2 events/sec, rule alerts when bikes <5 sustained for 1 hour, and a Power Automate flow logs items to a SharePoint list — the flow works. Power BI data is polled as hourly snapshots today; KQL and refresh‑triggering are on the roadmap.
