Extending Microsoft Copilot Capabilities Using Agents with Microsoft 365 Graph Connectors
*See all the video podcasts in the Copilot Agents Solutions Series here!
In this podcast Microsoft’s Maria Kurian and Michael Gannotti showcase how organizations in Life Sciences can extend the capability of Microsoft 365 Copilot to be able to leverage Veeva Vault PromoMatts.
* A reminder: the PromoMats connector is currently in preview status. This means it is still under active development and testing, so encountering issues at this stage is expected. Microsoft makes preview connectors available so users can test early versions, provide feedback, and help improve stability before general availability. Support for preview connectors is limited, and features or availability may change during this phase.
