Citations for SharePoint links not working for Teams bot but works in Open AI Studio

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

In Open AI Studio, I have added SharePoint library using Azure AI Search following this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-index-sharepoint-online

 

If I ask the both within the Chat Playground in Open AI studio, the citation is a direct link to the SharePoint URL. I can also see this same URL if I run a search within the Index, so I know it is pulling the correct URL.

 

When I deploy this bot to Copilot Studio as a bot, the citations no longer work. In the Copilot studio, if I click the citation reference, it pops open a box with the text only. When I publish and open the bot in Teams, I ask it the same question, get the same answer, but the link for the citation is not working. I tried using the Adaptive cards as @HenryJammes  had posted in a closed topic. The difference is that when I use a public site as a source, that citation works perfectly normal. It seems on only be the URL from the SharePoint data source in OpenAI source.

 

Reference topic of adaptive cards: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Copilot-Studio-Chatbots/Citations-references-not-showing-in-the-chat-in-Teams-but/td-p/2445958/page/2

    Hi @bdiflumeri, I could be wrong, but I think the Azure OpenAI on your data integration in Generative Answers expect the url field to be named "url". I remember, when creating my index / indexer, that I created a specific field for url -- even though it already existed with a different name.

    That worked perfectly! I had originally tried that in the creation of the indexer, but it looks like it didn't populate. After looking at the indexer settings, I did another PUT as you mentioned and now this links work flawlessly. Thanks for the help!
