Turn Copilot insights into action with connector write capabilities

Microsoft

Nov 09, 2026

Copilot connectors write actions are now generally available across Copilot Chat and Cowork, helping you turn insights from your conversations into action in connected applications. With hundreds of Microsoft-, partner- and custom-built connectors available, you can ask Copilot in plain language to create, update, or delete information without leaving the conversation. Review the proposed action, approve it, and Copilot completes it. Write actions will be coming soon to Copilot in Office apps as well.¹

Copilot connectors put Work IQ context into action across your applications

Copilot can use context from your conversation to create or update information in the applications where your organization’s data resides.

A Teams meeting transcript becomes a CRM activity and a ready-to-go follow-up task.
Every morning Outlook escalations can become a tidy set of product issues, summarized and labelled.
The document you just drafted becomes the Canva graphic that announces it.
An Excel workbook of approved rows becomes records created in the connected accounting system.

Explore more scenarios with connector write actions unlocked

With write and update capabilities in Copilot connectors, you can unlock new scenarios for you and your teams.

Create and update tickets – Atlassian Rovo

Atlassian Rovo brings Jira work and Confluence knowledge into Copilot, so you can create and update tickets without leaving Copilot:

Decisions become backlog before the meeting room empties: "Read the transcript from today's Product Review, create a Jira work item in the mobile project for each feature we agreed, and add the acceptance criteria discussed."

Find issues and create an email reply and documentation: "Find this open Jira bugs labelled checkout, update each with the root cause from this email thread and create a Confluence page in the Engineering space summarizing the fixes."

Update documents – Notion

With supported write actions, you can update Notion documents and databases directly from Copilot Chat as work happens.:

A discovery call becomes a spec: "Summarize today's discovery call transcript and create a page in Notion with sections for problem, proposed scope and open questions, and set its status to Draft."

The project page reflects the latest updates: "Read this week's status emails from the rollout team, update the Q4 rollout page's status to At Risk if any milestone slipped, and add a dated entry summarizing what changed."

Convert ideas into designs – Canva

Canva brings templates, designs, and team feedback into Copilot, helping you turn ideas and existing content into cohesive visuals without breaking your flow.

A campaign starts as a sentence in chat and comes back as artwork: "Create an Instagram post announcing our spring product launch using warm colors, minimal text."
The report you just finished has more life in it than one PDF: "Take the three key stats from this document and create a quote graphic for each."
And the feedback everyone left on Friday becomes the version you ship on Monday: "Read the comments on this design and apply the changes the team asked for."

Create campaigns - G2

G2 brings campaign planning, funding, creation and status into Copilot, using your campaign request and supporting brief as context. Start with a plan, review the proposal, approve it, create the campaign, and then check status.

Your campaign brief becomes a plan you can approve: “Use my G2 campaign request and its supporting brief to check funding for [X] reviews at $[Y]. Show me the complete campaign setup and funding arrangement for approval, with our team sending invitations. Don’t create it yet.”

Approval becomes a campaign, with your team still in charge of outreach: “Launch a review campaign for G2 Marketing Solutions called "Q4 Customer Reviews". Have G2 send it to alex@contoso.com with no incentive. Start next Tuesday".

Draft legal documents – iManage

iManage brings the governing agreement for a new engagement into the conversation, so you can use its context to draft a work order and verify the results without changing the original contract.

The right agreement gives the new work order its starting point: “Find the Master Services Agreement between Celestia Clinical and Acme in iManage. What’s its effective date and which matter is it filed under?”

That agreement becomes the foundation for a draft you can find again: “Draft a Statement of Work under that Celestia Clinical–Acme MSA for a new clinical-study work order. Save it as a new draft called ‘Celestia Clinical–Acme SOW – New Work Order’ in the same iManage matter. Mark missing scope, fees and dates ‘To be confirmed’, and leave the MSA unchanged.”

Bring scientific concept to coherent figures – BioRender

BioRender brings scientific templates and figure creation into Copilot, helping you turn a scientific concept into a consistent visual and adapt it to a different audience without changing the original.

A clear comparison starts with a useful template: “Search BioRender for HER2 receptor inhibition templates I can use to compare treatment strategies.”
Three treatment strategies become one coherent figure: “Redesign the first template as a three-panel comparison of HER2-targeting strategies: an antibody blocking dimerization, a small-molecule kinase inhibitor, and an antibody-drug conjugate.”

Control how and when Copilot takes action

By default, Copilot asks for permission before it creates, updates, and deletes any information on your behalf, keeping you in control. A confirmation card will be displayed on screen, outlining what Copilot has been told to do, such as “Copilot wants to use [tool name] from [connector]”, along with the details being sent. That way, you can review the information before it goes to your authenticated third-party app.

For each tool, you can choose Allow once or Always allow. Allow once asks you to confirm the next time Copilot uses that tool, while always allowing removes the confirmation step for future uses of that specific tool.

You can change your preferences at any time by going to chat Settings → Sources → Tools. By default, read tools are “Always allow” while new write tools start at "Needs approval”

In the Microsoft 365 admin center, admins can open each MCP-based Copilot connector to review the tools available to their organization and identify which tools can create, update, or delete data.
