Build and publish apps to Microsoft Copilot Managed Runtime
You can build internal tools in Lovable that publish straight into your company's secure Microsoft cloud. Your team accesses the app using their standard Microsoft work sign-in, and your data never leaves your company's systems.
Anyone on a Business or Enterprise plan who needs to build an internal tool powered by company data like SharePoint, Excel, or Dynamics.
Do this, in order
- 1
Ask Lovable to start a new project specifically for Microsoft Copilot Managed Runtime, or select it when prompted at project creation.
This configures the project to run securely inside Microsoft rather than as a public website.
- 2
Connect your Microsoft work account when prompted in the chat or via the Connectors settings page.
Lovable needs your Microsoft work credentials to prepare and host the app in your company's system.
- 3
Prompt Lovable to build features connected to your Microsoft data sources, like SharePoint lists, Dynamics 365, or Excel files.
The app reads and writes data directly through your company's Microsoft services instead of an external database.
- 4
Log in to the live preview window when prompted to test the app.
The preview runs inside Microsoft's secure container and requires your identity to load.
- 5
Open the publish dialog, click Publish to deploy your app, and copy the provided link.
This uploads the finished app into your Microsoft environment so permitted colleagues can open it.
Paste this into your project
Create an app for Microsoft Copilot Managed Runtime that shows tasks from our Facilities requests SharePoint list, with status filters and a form to submit a new request.

Where people get stuck
- Personal Microsoft accounts (@outlook.com, @hotmail.com) will not work; you must use an organizational work account.
- Your company's IT admin must perform a one-time tenant setup before your first connection, or sign-in will fail.
- Lovable backend tools like built-in databases and secrets are not supported; all data must come from Microsoft services.
- Apps deployed here cannot be made public; only colleagues in your organization with appropriate permissions can view them.
- Teammates will be blocked from editing your project unless you explicitly share the Microsoft connection with them inside Lovable.
