Hello,

fyi @Artur Stepniak

I've integrated OpenAI datasource in "Conversational Boosting" topic > Create generative answers step. (Refer below snaps)

If user enter question accordingly it's fetching response using OpenAI search(Connected with SQL data source) and it's working fine.

Now the thing is that agent which I created is specific to host user that mean when user enter any question I would like to add prefix text "All data must be for host HostFirsName HostLastName".
So questions is like "Give me name of property which contain name Villa." then while passing to datasource from backend would like to add prefix and it should
pass text "All data must be for host Charlotte Stripe. Give me name of property which contain name Villa."

Note: In chat interface I do not would like to display prefix text. This is only for purpose to get data specific to user only.

Thanks

Hello,

As far as I know you can't capture the Activity.Text and modify it before sending to Azure OpenAI. Instead of using this approach, I would create a Power Automate flow that calls (using HTTP action) OpenAI REST API, modifying the text and adding the prefix text. Then you would capture the result and show it in the agent.

In this excellent article you can get an idea on how to use Power Automate and HTTP actions to call Azure OpenAI REST endpoint: https://www.karlex.fi/call-openai-rest-api-with-custom-index-and-prompt-with-power-automate/

Hope it helps!

Hi JP-26111552-0,

Since you mention that you only need to add the same prefix to whatever question user is asking, means you will be able to fetch and append the Activity.Text before sending it to Generative answers node.

Anyhow currently you will not be able to use some direct formula in variables to append the text. But i suggest you can call a Action first and use a custom prompt or plugin or even a simple Power automate to do the append functionality.

The only difficulty is that, if u are using multiple topics that can trigger for different scenarios, then you might need to append the same steps in each topics seperately.

You can also follow the below approach suggested by fchopo , if you wanted to use the Power Automate Approach.

Thanks.
