Create a Microsoft Dataverse database
All the flows you create in Power Automate for desktop are stored in a Microsoft Dataverse database. There are several ways to create a Dataverse database. Environment administrators can create them in the Power Platform admin center and in Power Apps and in Power Automate for desktop. Non-admins can create a Dataverse database in Teams.
Create a Dataverse database in Power Automate for desktop
Users with administrative rights on their device can create a Dataverse database in Power Automate for desktop.
If you're using a free work or school account, a database is created automatically the first time you sign in with your account after you install Power Automate.
If your account is a premium account, select Create database the first time you sign in to Power Automate to create a Microsoft Dataverse database.
Create a Dataverse database in Teams
You can use the approvals workflow in Teams to automatically create a Dataverse database that Power Automate can use to store flows. You need to follow this process only once per tenant, and even non-admins can do it.
Sign in to Microsoft Teams.
Select More added apps (...).
Search for and install the Approvals app.
In the upper-right corner of the Approvals page, select New approval request.
Name your request; for example,
Test.Search for and select your username in the Approvers list.
Select Send.
Sending the approval request starts the creation of a Dataverse database. It may take a few minutes to complete. When it's done, you'll receive a notification in Teams that you have a request for approval.
Approve the request. Your Dataverse database is now added to the default environment.
Exit Power Automate for desktop from the system tray icon to restart it.
