Can I Reuse an Agent Trigger (Created in Agent A) for a Different Agent in Copilot Studio?

Hi, I have a question regarding agent triggers (event triggers) in Microsoft Copilot Studio.

In my case:

I created Agent A and added an agent trigger that triggers autonomously when an email arrives with a specific subject.
This agent trigger automatically created a Power Automate flow behind the scenes.
Now, I have created Agent B and would like to reuse the same trigger (the one created for Agent A) in Agent B, since the logic is exactly the same.

However, when I go to Agent B and try to add a new trigger, there is no option to select or reuse the existing agent trigger from Agent A — I can only create a new one from scratch.

My questions:

Is it possible to reuse an existing agent trigger (and its associated Power Automate flow) for a different Copilot agent?
If not directly, what is the recommended approach or workaround for using the same trigger logic across multiple agents?
Is this behavior by design (i.e., agent triggers being tightly bound to a specific agent), or are there plans to allow sharing/reuse of agent triggers in future updates?

I would appreciate any guidance, documentation, or best practices for managing reusable triggers across agents in Copilot Studio.

Thank you!

Hello @UA-16120059-0 Microsoft Copilot Studio currently does not support reusing triggers across agents. You will need to recreate the trigger in the new agent you are setting up.
