    Hi, 

    In Power Automate Desktop, you can’t directly use environment variables. However, you can create input parameters in your desktop flow and pass the values of the environment variables as inputs when you invoke your desktop flows from cloud flow.

    The following video is very useful to better understand how environment variables work with PAD.

    Hope this helps. 
    Anthony.
