I'm building a Copilot Studio agent that requests users to upload documents (images, files, etc) for the agent to analyze and parse. I require all uploaded files to be saved into a SharePoint document library. I built it two ways — once in the classic authoring experience and once in the new one. In the new experience I can't seem to fetch/retrieve the attachments to write them to SharePoint; everything else works fine.

Has anyone successfully retrieved attachments in the new Copilot Studio UI and stored them in SharePoint?
Is there a supported action/approach for this, or is it a known limitation of the new experience?
If you've done it, what did your steps look like?

Any pointers or examples appreciated — thanks!

Hi there!

I'm doing something similar except mine saves to Microsoft Chat Files folder in OneDrive but same concept.

Essentially the newer Copilot Studio experience now has a supported pattern for file handling:

Ask the user for a File input (or use First(System.Activity.Attachments) if they already attached a file).
Enable Include file metadata.
Pass the file directly to an Agent Flow (Power Automate) using a File input parameter.
In the flow, use Create file (SharePoint) to save the attachment. Microsoft specifically calls out SharePoint as a supported downstream scenario.
