How to find Audit trail of column changes in custom Dataverse Table

As subject indicates, could you please let me know where I can find the Audit trail? I have enabled auditing for certain columns in a custom table.

 

I'd like to connect Power BI/Automate to it for example & capture the changes.

 

Thanks.

Hello @fess,

 

You can write an Custom Connector to achieve the same, in the custom connector you can use 

 

RetrieveAttributeChangeHistoryRequest 

to retrieve records accordingly 

 

 RetrieveAttributeChangeHistoryRequest attributeChangeHistoryRequest = new RetrieveAttributeChangeHistoryRequest
 {
 Target = new EntityReference(EntitySchemaName, RecordId),
 AttributeLogicalName = AttributeSchemaName
 };

The table you are looking for is called Audit. Table documentation here including definitions for all readable and writeable columns.

Could you please direct me to where I can find this 'Audit' table? I am looking in 'Tables' under 'Data' in PowerApps in the right environment. Thanks.

Hi,

 

Audti table is not listed under Data->Tables in power apps maker portal.

 

However you can access the Audit table data from Power BI using following option -

Open Power BI Desktop-> Get Data-> Power Platform->Common Data Service (legacy)->Provide URL and Login with yor credential->Select Audit table as show below

thanks. do you know of a way to pull the records that have had a change to an (auditable) column in the Dataverse table into Power Automate for email notifications? The Power Automate will be triggered when the Dataflow has finished refreshing & the Dataflow will result in some changes to the auditable column. Thanks!!
