Hi, When integrating a Copilot Agent built in Copilot Studio with Power Apps and using SharePoint Online as a data source, the error message *"connect to the data source"* typically points to an issue with **permissions or authentication** between the services. Here are a few steps to help troubleshoot the issue: 1. **Verify SharePoint connection in Copilot Studio**: Ensure that the SharePoint data source is correctly added and authenticated within the Copilot Studio environment. You can do this by navigating to **Data > Connections** and confirming that the SharePoint connection is active and authorized. 2. **Check environment consistency**: Make sure that both your Power Apps app and the Copilot Agent are operating within the **same environment**. Mismatched environments can prevent proper data source access. 3. **User permissions**: Confirm that the user account running the Power App has the necessary permissions to access the SharePoint site and list being queried by the agent. 4. **Agent deployment in Power Apps**: When embedding the Copilot Agent in Power Apps, ensure that the app has the correct **data permissions** and that the agent is published and accessible from the environment where the app is running. 5. **Connector authentication**: If you're using a custom connector or a connector that requires OAuth2, double-check that the authentication flow is correctly configured and that consent has been granted. You may also find it helpful to review the following documentation: - Use Copilot in Power Apps - Connect to SharePoint from Power Apps - Copilot Studio data source configuration Thanks and best regards, Daniele **Note: This response was prepared with support from Copilot to ensure clarity and completeness.**
