Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have created an agent through copilot studio prompt. The basic idea of the agent is the following:

1. A user will write a request,

2. the agent will ask the user if any information is missing and

3. make an entry into a sharepoint list.

I am having trouble with step 3.

The issue with Step 3 is usually caused by SharePoint field mapping, permissions, or missing required values. The recommended approach is to use a Power Automate flow triggered by Copilot Studio to create the SharePoint item. First collect and confirm all required information in the agent, then pass those values to the flow, which creates the SharePoint list entry and returns success/error details back to the agent. Common problems include required columns not being populated, incorrect data types for Choice/Person/Lookup fields, empty variables, or insufficient SharePoint permissions. A good troubleshooting approach is to first test with a very simple list (Title + Description only) and then add more fields gradually.
