When triggering a FLow Action from an Autonomous Agent using Copilot Studio Instructions, If the flow contains a connector that requires connection, the action will not run unless i go into the transcript of the action, and open the URL that the Connect button (which when pressed does nothing) to select a connection to use, next runs have been succesfull, is this normal?

    Ronald by normal i refer to the fact the agents activity when first running the flow remains on waiting for user, and within the transcript, i can see those buttons prompting to connect and Retry. I had to initially extract the URL from the buttons using dev tools as the buttons dont work within the transcript.
     
    When opening that URL if i assign the connection the first time the subsequent executions work fine, although when i go to manage connections in Copilot Studio it shows that there is an action required with the connections with that flow action, although it seems to be working fine.
     
    This is what I'm trying to understand if its normal since it seems a bit odd as an authoring maker experience. If you had any suggestions as you said to how I can "better designing your agents and ensuring authorized access is properly configured" would be great to hear your experience.
     
    Michael, thanks for confirming, its great to know im not the only one experiencing the issue!

    Depends on what you mean by "is this normal?". You can avoid this by better designing your agents and ensuring authorized access is properly configured.
