Create a flow from a template

  1. From the list of AI Builder templates, choose the one that fits your needs the most.

    • If you don't have a Microsoft Power Platform environment with database, you'll see the following dialog. Select Continue to add a database. It usually takes a couple of minutes (in some cases it can take more than one hour) and has to be done only once.

    • If you already have a Power Platform environment with database, you'll land on the simplified template experience for Teams. The first screen asks you to validate connections.

  2. Once your connections are valid, select Continue.

    Note

    An AI Builder trial will be started or extended if needed. This action will be performed silently upon selecting Continue.
