To call Power BI from Appian and display reports in Appian, you have two main options:

Option 1: Power BI Embedded Service

  1. Set up Power BI Embedded service in your Azure portal.
  2. Use the service to generate an embed token in Appian.
  3. Embed the Power BI report in an Appian interface using an iframe, passing the embed token as a query parameter.
  4. If you need to pass parameters to the report, modify the iframe URL in Appian to include those parameters.

Option 2: Power BI Report Embedding

  1. Publish your Power BI report to the web, getting an embed code.
  2. Embed the report in an Appian interface using an iframe and the provided embed code.
  3. If you need to pass parameters, modify the embed code in Appian to include them.

Both options allow you to show Power BI reports in your Appian interface while controlling parameter passing as needed.

Hah. I assumed this to mean the a!webContentField. I forget if Power BI plays nicely with it, but the component plugin provides additional features such as per-user security and interactivity between the Power BI graphs and the regular SAIL components on the interface.

In the AppMarket, there are two types of plugins for Power BI. The connected system plugins make data calls. The component plugin provides interface components to show reports in Appian. The AppMarket has 2 connected system plugins for Power BI (different types of security) and 1 component plugin. I think you are looking for the component plugin: community.appian.com/.../microsoft-powerbi-component-plug-in
