Cannot find Agent in the Execute Copilot action in my cloud flow

Hi,

I have created an agent in Copilot, but I am not able to select the agent from the dropdown list of options from the Execute Copilot action in Power Automate cloud flow.

I work in Power Automate across four different accounts and it's like this for all of them. Does this action just not work? If that's the case, what are my alternatives? I want to pass a query to Copilot using Power Automate so I can take further actions on the response.

Thank you!

Cannot find Agent in the Execute Copilot action in my cloud flow

Hey man, seriously you're just going to copy and paste from ChatGPT? At least TRY and clean it up before you post it. You didn't even consider that I used AI to find my answer first before coming here? Community is the LAST place I go to find help after exausting all other avenues. Now I won't even bother coming here anymore if all that I'm going to receive is replies from people just pasting AI, and clearly doing so just to get on the leaderboard. Unbelievable.

Thank you to the two people who replied asking if my copilot was in the same environment. Yes, it is, but still it doesn't appear in the Copilot field menu. Nor does it appear when I use List Rows. In fact, the same is true across all four environments I work in.

I would love to hear from someone who has used this action successfully in their flow.

Hi,

Alternative 1: HTTP Request to Copilot Studio Agent (Recommended)

This is the most reliable method currently available:

Step 1: Get Your Agent's Direct URL

Go to your Copilot Studio agent

Click on "Channels" → "Demo website"

Copy the agent URL

Step 2: Use HTTP Action in Power Automate

json

Method: POST URI: [Your Copilot Agent URL]/api/botFramework Headers: - Content-Type: application/json - Authorization: Bearer [Your Token] Body: { "type": "message", "text": "Your query here", "from": { "id": "PowerAutomate" } }

Alternative 2: Power Virtual Agent Connector

If your agent was originally a Power Virtual Agent:

Use the "Power Virtual Agents" connector

Action: "Trigger a chatbot"

This method is more stable than Execute Copilot

Alternative 3: Custom Connector Approach

Step 1: Create Custom Connector

Export your Copilot Studio agent's API definition

Import as custom connector in Power Automate

Configure authentication

Step 2: Use Custom Connector

More reliable than built-in Execute Copilot action

Full control over request/response handling

Alternative 4: Microsoft Graph API Integration

For enterprise scenarios:

json

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats/{chat-id}/messages { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.chatMessage", "body": { "content": "Your query to Copilot" } }

Immediate Workaround Solutions

Solution 1: Environment Variables

Create environment variables for your agent details

Use these in HTTP requests instead of relying on dropdown

More portable across different environments

Solution 2: Flow Template Approach

Create a "parent flow" that handles Copilot communication

Call this flow from your main automation flows

Centralized management of Copilot integration

@CU05021423-0 Hi,

Just want to double confirm that the flow with the agent are in the same environment .

Can you list the records via Dataverse connector , action = List Rows ?

If you can, check the output if you have the values.

Hi @CU05021423-0

Can you verify that the environment where the copilot agent is created is the same environment where you are trying to create the flow?

The action will list only the copilot agents present in that specific environment where you are creating the flow.

Hope this Helps!
