Hi,

I want to call model driven app from chatbot as an action.

 

How can I do that?

    You should not use the HTTP action, just create a message with a basic adaptive card with a button that the user can click.

    Hi @RoyLuo 

    Power Virtual Agents does not support deep app links like your example for now. But I found a workaround: you can wrap your link in a tiny url (or other URL shortener) and that will work.

    Thanks for reply

    If I want to use Power virtual agents to open MS Store app, is this possible?
    use link like ms-windows-store ://home?

    Windows copilot is different: it has knowledge of installed app on your machine: you can ask to open Spotify because it is a local app running on your machine. 

     

    Power virtual agents (now copilot) and power apps are SAAS products (aka: hosted in cloud), if you want to open a model driven app from a chatbot you can only do it by sending a link to the user.

    Hello @punpunmishra,

    what do you mean calling a model driven app? An app is not something you can "call". If you mean opening a model driven app then you can have your bot post a message with a link to the app (use this guide to know how to format a link: Basic Syntax | Markdown Guide)
