I think it would be super cool if we could get a PBI IFTTT.com plugin that enables you to use the IOT to push data into PowerBI. IFTTT let's you set up some simple if this thing happens than do this other thing type rules. For PBI I see this working like this existing IFTTT recipe: https://ifttt.com/recipes/158601-today-s-weather where you set it up to push info into PBI daily. For example you can say, every day take the information from Weather plugin and push the information into my PBI dashboard. This could also be an awesome way to push workout data, I can envision a workout app having IFTTT plugin, so you could say push my fitbit stats into PBI. In this way I could build a self updating dashboard with all of my workout information and weather reports so I could plan my day's workout. Possibilities are pretty endless once we hook into IOT.

RE: IFTTT -> PBI
KPI tracking. Yes please
RE: IFTTT -> PBI
I agree this is critical to the IoT environment and connecting to data especially decision-making data.
RE: IFTTT -> PBI
It will be great, notification on change of data triggers an action in IFTTT and that can be linked to various IoT projects. I did a project when a Sales Target is not achieved LED Lights are red and when achieved it turns green, which is similar to Guage Visual, so instead. PowerBI >>> IFTTT >>>Trigger any automation IoT
RE: IFTTT -> PBI
I agree
RE: IFTTT -> PBI
I think it will be good if PBI integrated with IFTTT, any event based on data PBI can trigger other IoTs and applications, it will be great idea

How about the new Microsoft's Flow to integrate with Power BI along with IFTTT?
RE: IFTTT -> PBI

Sorry about that. I commented on the wrong idea.

Power Query for Excel has a "From Microsoft Exchange" option that allows you to read email messages, not just email metrics. It works with my Office 365 email account. It would be awesome to have this in Power BI.
RE: IFTTT -> PBI
I agree. Lots of cool IoT possibilities if we had this. Especially in Manufacturing.
