Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build an Employee Onboarding Copilot that schedules Teams meetings for new hires using Power Automate. My flow trigger is set to “When an agent calls the flow,” and I’ve defined the following input parameters:
EmailAddress (String)
EmailAddress
StartTime (String)
StartTime
EndTime (String)
EndTime
TrainingTitle (String
TrainingTitle
In Copilot Studio, I’m calling the flow using these exact fields. The values passed look like this:
{ "EmailAddress": "michaelkeimeyer@2xgr35.onmicrosoft.com", "StartTime": "2025-06-16T14:00:00Z", "EndTime": "2025-06-16T16:00:00Z", "TrainingTitle": "Introduction to IT Systems" }
However, I keep getting this error:
The flow failed to run with response code 'BadRequest', error code: TriggerInputSchemaMismatch. FlowActionBadRequest – even though the structure seems correct.
TriggerInputSchemaMismatch
I've checked:
The input field names in the trigger exactly match what Copilot is sending
The Flow is saved and published
I’ve re-added the action in Copilot multiple times to refresh the schem
What else can cause this mismatch? Is it possible that Copilot is still referencing an old version of the flow? Or is there some hidden issue with how the agent sends data?
Thanks in advance for any help! – Michael
Screenshot: Sure! I’ll attach the trigger screenshot shortly.
Type of Flow: It is a CoPilot Flow – the trigger was created as part of the CoPilot tool using the TaskDialog structure.
TaskDialog
New Flow Test: I’ll try your suggestion and create a new standard Flow that simply calls the existing Schedule Flow with the same values. That’s a great idea to isolate whether it’s a CoPilot-specific issue or not
Also:
Yes, everything is part of a solution.
I’ve published all customizations – the last time was [insert date/time or say "just now"].
I recently updated the propertyName fields to be more readable (e.g. EmailAddress, StartTime, etc.), so maybe the Flow is still expecting the older names like text, text_1...
propertyName
text
text_1
Next steps:
I’ll test with a new Flow and see if that resolves it or confirms the source of the issue.
Thanks again – I’ll report back shortly!
