We have the same dataset that is published in several different workspaces (we have our reasons). When the dataset fails to refresh we get an email, but we don't know in which workspace it failed.



Not a big problem, we just check them all. However I think it would be little effort to add the workspace name in the email. So it would be nice if this is added. It might help a lot of people around the world some time.

RE: Add name of workspace to email of failed refresh

This idea is even more important now that Deployment Pipelines exist. I'm shocked the email doesn't contain the workspace. The whole point of deployment pipelines is to have a DEV, TEST and PROD version of the dataset/reports. Some folks might only refresh in PROD, but some might have refreshes set up for datasets in the various stages.This is a missing feature in the email for deployment pipelines.

RE: Add name of workspace to email of failed refresh

This is a great suggestion - I have the same issue.We test Power BI reports in several environments before they are moved to production, each of which has their own workspace ("Beta Power BI", "UAT Power BI" etc.). It is not possible to tell from the email itself which workspace the error relates to without clicking one of the links. As we have a different Microsoft account and tenant that owns the Power BI workspaces we have to switch to another Microsoft account before the link can be checked.Having the workspace name in the email would definitely improve support resolution time, especially as errors often occur as we are making database changes in non-production environments that impact on Power BI reports.
