Connect Power BI Data — Usage Insights Unlocked
Connect marketing platforms to Power BI and let AI agents query campaign performance, conversions, and customer data across 500+ sources.
Key Takeaways Power BI marketing data integration
Improvado connects to your marketing platforms through secure APIs, automatically extracting campaign data, conversion metrics, and customer insights. The platform pulls data from Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn, Shopify, HubSpot, and 500+ other sources on your defined schedule. Marketing data gets transformed and cleaned through automated rules before loading into Power BI datasets. This eliminates manual data imports and ensures your Power BI reports always reflect current campaign performance and business metrics.
Unified marketing data in Power BI
Improvado's Marketing Common Data Model standardizes metrics and dimensions from different platforms, creating consistent field names for Power BI analysis. Facebook 'link clicks' and Google 'clicks' become unified metrics in your Power BI datasets, enabling true cross-platform reporting. This normalization supports Power BI's relationship modeling and DAX calculations across marketing channels. You can build comprehensive Power BI dashboards that analyze customer journeys, attribution, and ROI without worrying about data inconsistencies between platforms.

From connection to autonomous action in three steps
Connect
Connect your Power BI workspace via OAuth or service principal authentication. The agent accesses your reports, datasets, dataflows, and workspace settings with read/write permissions based on your role assignments.
Ask
Ask questions like 'Which dashboards haven't been viewed in 30 days?' or 'Show me datasets with failed incremental refreshes' or 'What reports are hitting row-level security performance issues?'
Act
The agent optimizes slow DAX queries, schedules dataset refreshes during off-peak hours, archives unused reports, adjusts gateway configurations, implements aggregation tables, and updates data source credentials when authentication fails.
What teams ask their AI agent about Power BI
Real prompts from enterprise marketing teams. The agent reads your data, answers in seconds, and takes action when you ask.

Your AI agent analyzes Power BI data and delivers actionable insights — automatically, in seconds.
AI agents query unified marketing data from Google Ads, Facebook, LinkedIn, and 500+ platforms loaded into Power BI. They calculate cross-channel attribution by correlating ad clicks with CRM opportunities and closed deals. Agents build executive reports by comparing campaign ROAS, customer acquisition costs, and conversion rates across all marketing channels.
Read
Reads workspace metadata, report usage analytics, dataset refresh histories, query performance metrics, gateway status, data source connection health, user access patterns, DAX query logs, row-level security configurations, and capacity utilization statistics across your Power BI tenant.
Write
Writes dataset refresh schedules, creates aggregation tables, updates data source credentials, modifies gateway settings, implements query caching rules, adjusts capacity allocations, archives inactive reports, updates workspace permissions, and optimizes DAX measures for performance.
Monitor
Monitors dataset refresh failures, query timeout thresholds, gateway connectivity issues, capacity CPU spikes, report load time degradation, user access anomalies, data source authentication expirations, incremental refresh errors, and workspace storage limits approaching quota.
Query, write, and monitor Power BI through Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client. Every action is logged and governed.
