Real-time refresh with a Dataflow connector to Power BI

I'm currently working with a dashboard. I got the data from Dynamic connector (Dataverse) from a default environment from my company. However, when my account ceases to exist, I need that dashboard to keep working.
The only available way I've looked up was to create a Dataflow in Power Apps, to migrate data from the default environment of a member of the team to a production one.
Now I face a similar problem I had when working with the refresh of the semantic model of Power BI since I need all the data to be on real time. My only option was to create a Flow with Automate to refresh via API with a button the semantic model.
But now that I face a similar situation here I wonder if there's a better way at handling this options:
Considerations:

1. Migration from one environment to another is mandatory

2. Refresh is necessary in real time

Thanks for any guidance you may have!

Real-time refresh with a Dataflow connector to Power BI

Hello!

Is there a specific reason you're not using DirectQuery to connect Dataverse to Power BI in real time? It could save you the trouble of setting up all those Power Automate flows.

Give it a try — this video explains it really well:
