Posted on by OultonCollegeIT

HI Everyone,

We are developing a Copilot to help our students, we did over 83 topics, works great. the part I am trying to work now is actions. I learned from this video

Demo API joke

then went to build my own custom connector and started easy to harder
here an example with random duck

in the picture we can see the connector working

but then in Copilot nothing

same thing with a dictionary, no problem in power automate

I checked the outputs and played with it, with no results

Any help would be greatly appreciated

There might be a bug here with custom connectors, can you submit a support ticket via the admin center?

so many water ran under the bridge since. I figured it out few weeks ago. The problem is copilot not able to ingest the data. it has an api call limited to 500kb.
so go to power automate, create a solution

then a cloud flow instant

start when a power agent starts with... then api connector from power apps ( add a steps),there maybe filter array, variable... and finish with return power to power agent

when done, publish it, go to copilot add a connector/ flow (it can take1hr to appear)/connect the flow, fill up all description, and do a first test.

back to automate and check with your test. you can submit your test over and over until satisfaction.

Gemini in reasoning helped me a lot, built multiples flows including brightspace and more.

so not your fault but missing a translation part in between
