Copilot Studio Chat Agent Missing ContentUrl, ContentType, and File Content in Attachment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 16

Hi Community,

I’m working with the Copilot Studio chat agent to upload files to Azure Blob Storage, but I’m facing an issue where the attachment object returned after uploading a file is missing critical data such as contentUrl, contentType, and the actual content. The response I’m receiving looks like

{
  "contentType": null,
  "contentUrl": null,
  "content": {
    "kind": "conversationFileReference",
    "value": "38643c48-2b6b-47b2-812d-754dac950c38"
  },
  "name": "17dc2d19-3ab6-4dfd-b886-a02c28a53f3c.png",
  "thumbnailUrl": null
}

The issue:

  • The contentType, contentUrl, and content fields are all missing or set to null.
  • While the file name is provided, I cannot access the actual content of the file needed for uploading to Azure Blob Storage.

It seems like the Copilot Studio chat agent is not returning the file content as expected.

My question:

  • Has anyone experienced a similar issue with Copilot Studio attachments not returning the full file content?
  • How can I retrieve the actual file content using the object returned, or is there a different approach or API to get the file data?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Sahad

    Hello,
     
    attachments are currently not supported in Copilot Studio chat. You can only upload the files directly as a knowledge source. We'd need to wait for this feature to be implemented. :-)
     
    In case of any other questions, let me know. If the answer helped you, mark it, so that others can benefit from it.
     
    Best regards,
