Power BI has no built-in DHL Express connector, so shipping reports usually start from a manual MyDHL export. Spojit pulls shipment and tracking data with its DHL Express connector, writes it as rows to a database or warehouse Power BI already reads, such as Snowflake or MySQL, and triggers a semantic model refresh through the Power BI REST API. This morning's report shows yesterday's delays.
Refreshing a semantic model through the Power BI REST API needs a Microsoft Entra app registration or service principal with access to the workspace, plus a database or warehouse Power BI already reads, such as Snowflake or MySQL. DHL Express connects with MyDHL API credentials.
DHL Express and Power BI, working together
When a DHL Express shipment is created
add a row with service, weight, destination and quoted cost to the shipping table Power BI reads
When a scheduled check finds new DHL Express tracking events
update the shipment's status and transit time in the reporting table
When a DHL Express shipment hits a delivery exception
flag it in the table and refresh the Power BI semantic model
When the nightly shipment load finishes
trigger a Power BI refresh so reports show the latest shipments
Built for how DHL Express and Power BI really work
Built-in DHL Express connector
Rates, shipments and tracking come from Spojit's DHL Express connector, with your MyDHL API credentials stored encrypted.
Refresh when the data changes
Miraxa builds the Power BI REST API call that refreshes your semantic model once new rows land, instead of waiting for the next scheduled refresh.
Your table, your model
Rows land in a table you design, so Power BI measures, relationships and row-level security stay under your control.
Why teams build this on Spojit
Power BI can refresh from a database on a schedule, but it cannot call the MyDHL API itself, and push datasets, the old way to stream rows in over the API, stop accepting new models after October 2027. Spojit fills the gap from the DHL side: it collects shipment and tracking data, lands it where Power BI already connects, and asks Power BI to refresh when the data changes.
With Spojit
- Direct Mode moves tracking rows with no AI credits; add an AI step only to classify exception reasons.
- Durable execution retries DHL rate limits and warehouse timeouts, so a load never half-completes.
- Billed by execution time, not per shipment or per row.
DHL Express + Power BI, answered
Is there a DHL Express connector for Power BI?
Not a built-in one. Spojit pulls the data with its DHL Express connector and lands it in a source Power BI reads, so the report uses Power BI's own connector for that source.
Why not push rows straight into Power BI?
Microsoft is retiring push and streaming semantic models: new ones cannot be created after October 31, 2027. Landing rows in a warehouse and refreshing the model is the pattern that lasts.
What can I report on?
Shipments, services, weights, destinations, quoted rates and tracking events, including delivery exceptions, as returned by the DHL Express connector.
What is possible depends on your plan and authorized API access. Some DHL Express and Power BI endpoints and capabilities are gated by the vendor (for example, parts of an API may require a higher tier, and write access can require a custom or add-on connection on an eligible plan), so not every workflow is available on every account from day one. You can request a feature or integration any time, and we will get in touch to figure out how to make it work.
