Posted on by sararousal 2

Hello, I'm trying to create shared teams chatbot, when a user asks about a keyword it should return the definition, both organized in one excel file. What is the best way to go about this? Thank you

    Hi @sararousal,

     

    You can use the call an action step in your topic to interact with an Excel file via a Power Automate cloud flow:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/advanced-use-flow

     

    You could use a list rows present in table action with a filter on a keywords column of your Excel and use the chatbot entries as input. After that you can return the definition column value of that matching row.

     

    Have a look at this Read from Excel Copilot Studio example:
