    Hi @Ghanty, Rituparna [TECH NE],

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing your experience.   

    To test PowerApps and Power Automate with SharePoint Online, you can set up a SharePoint Online site in Microsoft 365. Here's how you can do:

    1. Create a SharePoint Online Site

    Once your sandbox is ready:

    • Go to the SharePoint Admin Center: https://admin.microsoft.com (access requires administrator privileges) > Show all > SharePoint
    • Click Active sites > Create > Team site or Communication site
    • Give it a name.

    2. Create a List for PowerApps and Power Automate

    • Go to your new SharePoint site
    • Click New > List
    • Choose a blank list and name it (e.g., "Requests")
    • Add columns (e.g., Text, Choice, Date)

    3.  Use with PowerApps

    User's image

    • On the top menu, click Data > search for SharePoint and select it
    • ADD the URL of your SharePoint site and the list you created > Connect
    • PowerApps will generate a default app for the list
    • Customize forms, logic, UI, etc.

    4.  Use with Power Automate

    • Go to https://make.powerautomate.com
    • Create a new flow (e.g., "When an item is created in SharePoint")
    • Connect to your SharePoint site and SharePoint list

    User's image

    • Add actions like sending an email, updating another list, calling an API, etc.

    Thank you again for your patience and for choosing Microsoft Q&A forum. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
