13. Power Automate will prompt you to select an environment and company within your [!INCLUDE[prod_short](includes/prod_short.md)] tenant. Because each step in the flow is independent of the next, you may be required to define the environment and company multiple times when using a [!INCLUDE[prod_short](includes/prod_short.md)] Power Automate template.

## Troubleshooting
76
+
77
+
### "Entity set not found” error
78
+
79
+
#### Problem
80
+
81
+
When creating a new Power Automate Flow using a [!INCLUDE[prod_short](includes/prod_short.md)] approval trigger, like *When a purchase document approval is requested*, you get an error message similar to:
82
+
83
+
**Entity set not found: \<name\>**
84
+
85
+
where **\<name\>** is the service name of the missing web service, like **workflowWebhookSubscriptions** or **workflowPurchaseDocumentLines**.
86
+
87
+
#### Possible cause
88
+
89
+
Using Power Automate to integrate with your [!INCLUDE[prod_short](includes/prod_short.md)] approvals requires that certain page and codeunit objects are published as web services. By default, most of the required objects are published as web services for you. But in some cases, your environment may have been customized so that these objects are no longer published.
90
+
91
+
#### Fix
92
+
93
+
Go to the **Web Services** page and make sure that the following objects are published as web services. There should be an entry in the list for each object, with the **Published** check box selected.
