Hi Team,

I’m working on a topic in Copilot Studio that’s quite complex and requires gathering multiple inputs from the user. Based on these inputs, we need to make several HTTP calls to external systems.

Once we receive the responses from these APIs, we need to process and combine the data programmatically before proceeding further in the conversation flow.

Is there a way to write and execute custom JavaScript or Python code within Copilot Studio to handle this kind of logic and data processing?

Appreciate your guidance on the best approach.

Hi @CU09061727-0

So if its ok, I want to answer, yet not answer as I want to try to be clear in what I am understanding :-)

Yes and No.

1. You can use Copilot to easily call external API's through connector actions (custom or other)

2. You can get the information back from those calls

3a. You can use Copilot and Power FX directly IN the Copilot actions to "format" the data how you want

3b. Or you Can use Copilot, create EITHER a CoPilot direct Flow or, create a Flow, where you pass the data and it will format it how you want, then give it back, or send it, save, or can it.... to wherever you want.

Now I will say that technically

Bring Your Agents into Microsoft 365 Copilot with the Agents SDK | Microsoft Learn

You can do it there...

But do you mean Autonomous Agents or is it hosted on some channel(s)?
