Posted on by Matt51

Hi there,

I’m aware you can store the generative answers as a variable when using the generative answer node. However, is there a way while using orchestration to store Copilots answer as a variable?

Thank you

Hi Matt51,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.

Yes, you can store Copilot's answer as a variable while using orchestration in Power Apps.

Here's how you can do it:

Create a Variable: In your Copilot Studio, create a variable to store the response. You can do this by adding a "Set Variable Value" node (See attached screenshots below).

Capture the Response: Use a "Question" node or any other node that captures user input. The response will be automatically stored in the variable you created.

Use the Variable: You can now use this variable in subsequent steps of your orchestration, such as passing it to a Power Automate flow or using it in other topics.

Here's a simple example:

Add a "Set Variable Value" Node: Go to your bot's Topics page, add a new node, and select "Set Variable Value".

Configure the Node: Set the variable name and assign the value you want to store (e.g., Copilot's response).

Use the Variable: In other parts of your orchestration, you can reference this variable to use the stored value.

Not sure what you mean by using orchestration but you can open the advance section and that will allow you to save it to a variable. Make sure you set up the inital var as a global and you can access it from anywhere.
