Hi,

I'm developing a PVA chatbot and integrate to MS Teams channel.

I want to custom default error message of PVA to notify a helpful message for end user when chatbot can't connect to Power Automate. I haven't found any solution for this yet. Could you help me suggest a solution?

 

Many thanks,

    Hi @hptruc,

     

    This can't be customized in the production version of Power Virtual Agents, but the unified authoring canvas, now in preview, has an "On Error" topic that you can customize: Use system topics in Power Virtual Agents (preview) - Power Virtual Agents | Microsoft Learn

     

    So, you can tweak / customize the error message based on the error code, etc.:

    Thank @HenryJammes 

    The preview feature looks amazing! Do you know about the timeline of these features being released to prod?

    Hi @hptruc,

     

    These capabilities are planned for general availability this May 2023: New and planned features for Power Virtual Agents, 2023 release wave 1 | Microsoft Learn

    Is this still not possible? My bot, in Teams, still defaults to "Hello, I’m xxxxxxxxx. How can I help?"
