- 1First, connect Admin Pulse in Peliqan. Sign up, then authenticate your Admin Pulse account through the Admin Pulse connector. Peliqan handles authentication, rate limits and incremental refresh for you.

Live dashboards and automatic refresh
Peliqan keeps your Admin Pulse data current on a schedule, so reports in Power BI Service refresh automatically without manual exports. Moreover, every report – from billable-hours dashboards to invoiced revenue reporting – runs on the same governed warehouse, so you work from one consistent source of truth.

No code or native connector needed
Admin Pulse does not ship a native Power BI connector. Instead, Peliqan provides a managed Admin Pulse-to-Power BI connector that handles the API, sync and data modelling, so you write and maintain no integration code. It works with Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service and Power BI Pro or Premium. You can also connect Tableau, Looker or Metabase to the same Power BI connector.
