Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello everyone,

I'm building a Copilot Studio agent and I'm looking for the best practice for a common scenario: processing an uploaded file in a Power Automate flow.

My Goal:
A user uploads a .docx in the Copilot topic. I want to send the content of this file to a Power Automate flow, which will then parse the text and create an summary out.

My Setup:

In my Topic, I have a "Question" node that asks for a file. This creates a "File" variable (let's call it Var1) that holds the uploaded file.
I have an "Action" node that calls a Agentic flow,
The file must now be passed to the flow, but it asks for "Record" Variable. which I am unable to provide because my input variable from the question node is a "File" Variable.
