Subject: Notification that your inactive Teams environment will be disabled

What is happening? Owners of Teams sites that have unused Power Platform features enabled (e.g., Power Automate, Power Apps) may receive an email (see sample below) indicating that their inactive Teams environment will be disabled.

What is the impact? The Microsoft Teams site will continue to function as normal; however, the unused Power Platform features and associated data will be archived if no action is taken.

Why is this happening? When a feature is not in regular use, Microsoft will cleanup inactive environments resulting in the deactivation and eventual deletion of the environment.

Action required to retain Power Platform features: If you still need the Power Platform feature(s) and associated data, you will need to sign into the environment’s hub in the Power Platform admin centre.

For more information, please see Automatic cleanup of inactive environments - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs or submit a support request via the IST Jira Help Portal.
