MicrosoftHey Kristen,
I wonder if you heard the reference to the new Copilot Studio capabilities coming soon where they can be triggered by the arrival of an email to them independantly complete tasks for you.
You can build your own copilot or even automation with Power Automate when certain emails arrive in your mail, then perform a certain task. Does that sound relevant to you?
Hi Jack,
Yes, I attended some breakout sessions related to Copilot Studio. I have Copilot for Microsoft 365 and signed up for Copilot Studio yesterday. So, I need to explore Studio and figure out how to create an agent that can do what I've described. I asked the question in one of those breakouts and they said I would need to use a combination of Copilot and Power Automate. Is that the case or do you think it can be created in Copilot Studio without Power Automate?
My account is Office 365 E3. So, I have access to Power Automate and other Power Apps. I did figure out that to leverage Copilot more effectively IN Outlook, I have to switch to the NEW Outlook Desktop App. So, now I toggle between the Classic version and the New version (the New Outlook doesn't have all the features I use in the Classic version). #itscomplicated
- JackRowbothamHey, great. Power Automate is included in the Copilot Studio license when used in the context of a copilot. What sort of things are you looking for specifically from your email? a specific sender? or based on the body of the mail. That usually determines the type of technology used to make it work. The brand new autonomous agent capabilities are in a limited private preview today so your main option of making this possible would be via a Power Automate flow that has a trigger for when a specific email arrives. Have a look at these email templates from Power Automate: https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/
- I want Copilot to analyze my inbox, identify emails with actionable items/requests, and then either flag them or create a task. I'd also like to notify me when a time-sensitive request is received.
