Hi
New to this - can I use an FAQ list from excel with my chat bot - with the first column my topic
Hi @Micksciara,
It depends a bit what you are looking for. Generally speaking you can interact with an Excel file via the Call an action step when you are designing a Power Virtual Agent topic:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/advanced-flow
To give you an idea I created a small demonstration with an Excel File.
1. A Excel File hosted on SharePoint. This Excel file contains a formatted table (Table1) with three columns. First column is called Topic.
2. A Topic where the bot asks a question (multiple choices). These are the same as the topics in the Excel. The choice is stored in a varCategory which is used to lookup the question/answer pairs in the Excel file via a Power Automate flow.
3. The Design of the flow. The Category field receives a value from the varCategory which is used in the Filter Query field of the List rows present in a table action. This is to filter the Excel file and only retrieve the correct question/answer pairs for a specific topic.
With two expressions in the Select and the output variable the response is formatting.
