Power BI Refresh Error:
TeamsAppBlockedInTenant

What does this error mean?

A Fabric Activator rule configured to send Teams alerts cannot deliver messages because the Fabric Activator Teams app has been blocked by a Teams administrator at the tenant level. All Activator-to-Teams notifications are silently dropped until the app is unblocked.

Common causes

  • 1The Microsoft Teams administrator blocked or did not allow the Fabric Activator app in the Teams Admin Center
  • 2A tenant-wide policy requires admin approval for third-party or Microsoft apps before they can be used
  • 3The Activator Teams app was previously allowed but was later blocked as part of a Teams governance review

How to fix it

  1. 1Ask your Microsoft Teams administrator to check the Teams Admin Center under Manage apps > Fabric Activator
  2. 2The admin should change the app's status from 'Blocked' to 'Allowed' for the tenant
  3. 3As a workaround while waiting for admin action, switch the Activator rule's alert delivery from Teams to email

Beyond the docs

Common practitioner solutions not covered in the official documentation.

  1. 1If your organization uses app permission policies, ensure the Fabric Activator app is included in the allowed list for the relevant users
