Being able via an API / web address to trigger a source refresh – we have sources that could take 4 to 5 hours but sometime it can take more. Scheduling the refresh at a given time you may miss a refresh cycle / or refreshing the data every hour while the source is updated only once a day is using resources for nothing. Being able to trigger a refresh “automatically” at the end of the job process would allow to coordinate tasks (DB refresh, Cube refresh, Excel file refresh and then PowerBI refresh).
