Access to context variables in my custom topic

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

I want to have access in my topic to the context variables that apparently are only available upon handoff, like for example va_LastTopic or va_Topics, (the variables are listed here, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/advanced-hand-off#context-variables-available-upon-handoff).

Is there a way to access these variables in my custom topic?

I looked already at querying the ConversationTranscript dataverse table, but there is apparently a 20/30 minute delay when this table is updated.

    Did you figure this out? I am in the exact same situation. I want to read va_LastTopic and send that in a message. Not sure how to read/access these system context hand off variables.

    thanks @Umianta 

    I was aware of that but I can't find the variables LastTopic, Topics,... which you find at the link I included.

    Can you tell me how I can access f.e. the LastTopic variable via PowerFx?

    Hi @MichielVanduren ,

    Most of the contextual information is accessible through system variables, which you can access using Fx formulas. Additionally, I recommend referring to the documentation below for more information on system variables.
