Hello,

I have an issue with 'Execute Copilot and wait' by Microsoft Copilot Studio connector.

When I am using this action within Power Automate I receive lastResponse value in output body of the 'Execute Copilot and wait step'.

When using same action within Copilot Studio (in topic, as tool node, or as a tool separately) I got only conversation ID.

Can anyone help with that?

gHi,

I found a bug, both Execute Copilot and Wait, and Execute Copilot have the same output bindings when called from a Copilot Studio Topic.
Acordin to the documentation:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/connectors/microsoftcopilotstudio/#execute-agent-and-wait

Execute Copilot and Wait should expose:
Name   Path   Type   Description
lastResponse   lastResponse   string
The last text response in the activities list

responses   responses   array of string
The list of string responses in the activities list

conversationId   conversationId   string
The conversation ID associated with the response

Can you fix it please?
I would really like to use the response of Execute and Wait

Merhaba, kullandığım Power Automate masaüstü uygulamasında "sürüş ve bekleme" eylemi yok. Etkinleştirilebilecek bir ayar var mı?

Hi @WR-18111929-0

Can you please share the flow XAML (code view) from CP.

I am going to try to reproduce it myself. It is very possible that since you are in CP it just doesn't do it because you can grab it differently... but let me check

No, I am not. I have a 'Response' value, but the only content is conversation id. With Power Automate works fine.

Hi @WR-18111929-0

Can you make sure you are not accidentally using Execute Copilot action instead of Execute Copilot and Wait action, because the first only gives the ID, the second waits.

If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

Thank you!
Sincerely, Michael Gernaey
