Get emailed reports into Power BI
When a scheduled report arrives as a CSV or spreadsheet attachment in Gmail, Spojit reads it and writes the rows to the table your Power BI model reads. When the load finishes, it refreshes the model. You need a Gmail or Google Workspace account you authorize with Google sign-in, plus a Microsoft Entra app registration with access to your Power BI workspace; describe the workflow and Miraxa builds it.

Many systems can only send their data as a scheduled email: a carrier's daily report, a marketplace settlement, a franchise sales file. Spojit watches the Gmail label those emails land in, reads the attachment, loads the rows into a database Power BI reads, and refreshes the model.
Refreshing a semantic model needs a Microsoft Entra app registration with workspace access, plus a database Power BI reads, such as MySQL. Gmail connects with Google sign-in.
Gmail and Power BI, working together
A daily carrier report arrives in Gmail

A report arrives with unexpected columns
hold the load and alert the data team
Built for how Gmail and Power BI really work
Attachments to rows
CSV and spreadsheet attachments read and written as typed rows.
Format checks
Unexpected columns or empty files stop the load instead of breaking the report.
Refresh after load
The model refreshes once the new rows are in.
Why teams build this on Spojit
Power BI cannot read attachments out of a Gmail inbox, so emailed reports are downloaded and uploaded by hand. Spojit automates that path with the built-in Gmail trigger, attachment parsing, a landing table and a refresh.
With Spojit
- Gmail trigger is built in; Power BI is refreshed through its REST API.
- AI can read reports whose layout changes from week to week.
- No one has to download and upload a file again.
Gmail + Power BI, answered
Which attachment types work?
CSV and spreadsheet files, and PDFs read with AI when the data is in a table.
What if the report format changes?
Spojit checks the columns first and alerts you instead of loading bad data.
Where do the rows go?
Into a database your Power BI model reads, such as MySQL or Snowflake.
What is possible depends on your plan and authorized API access. Some Gmail 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.
