Hi @SonalBannagare,

You can't use the Bot Framework Emulator to test Composer content created for Power Virtual Agents bots.

Instead, you'll need to publish your Composer content to your Power Virtual Agents bot, then use the Test bot pane.

Question: have you considered using the unified authoring canvas to create your chatbot?

It's in preview today and will be generally available next month (May 2023).

The new version doesn't rely on Bot Framework Composer anymore as it offers modern alternatives in a single, web-based, authoring experience: Key concepts for Bot Framework Composer users (preview) - Power Virtual Agents | Microsoft Learn
