How can I preserve custom behaviors when using multi-agent orchestration in Copilot Studio?

I’m building a multi-agent setup in Copilot Studio. When I use a single agent, I have a custom behavior where, after generating a response, the bot asks: “Is this answer okay?” and provides quick replies like Yes or No to decide whether to end the conversation or continue.

However, when I switch to a multi-agent design, the parent agent calls child agents to generate answers, and this custom post-response behavior from the child agents is not inherited.

Question:

How can I implement this confirmation step and quick reply logic in a multi-agent scenario? Is there a way to make the parent agent preserve or replicate the child agent’s custom behavior?

If anyone has solved this issue or has best practices (including links to community discussions or documentation), please share.

Hi @菜日-20110828-0,

Did you try specifying this in the instructions?
Since you're working with a child agent scenario, you can add the following instruction:
"After every response generated by the child agent, prompt the user with: ‘Is this answer okay?’ to verify acceptance."

I hope this information helps! If it does, please consider giving a 👍.
Best regards,

I've done something somewhat similar by using the 'Component Collections' feature. I create an agent that handles common scenarios (topics, entities, variables included) and create a component collection using that agent as the parent agent. This essentially imports all the agent components of that agent to whatever other agents which are allowed to use the component collection.

Beyond that, you may want to look into agent connections (which it seems you've already tried?) and the 'transfer conversation' features which allows contextual awareness when transferring (i believe this may just include the conversation history). The transfer conversation feature may require a web app to handle the transfer, I haven't really looked into it beyond seeing what it did in the conversation logs.
