Power Virtual Agent with no trigger word and pass user input to Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi guys, I am relatively new to Power Virtual Agent, originally we had a python teams bot using the Python Bot SDK, but the Python version of this is soon to be no longer supported. As a result MS have recommended people to use Power Virtual Agents but it is too simple for our usecase as some important data processing and retrieval happens in the python code of the old teams bot.


I found a solution that I can use where the Power Virtual Agent will trigger a Power Automate trigger and in this trigger call a Azure Function with the python code we need and then return the response back to Power Automate and then finally back to the Power Virtual Agent. This issue is that I want whatever the user inputs to be sent to this Azure Function and was wondering if anyone knew a way where i could bypass the trigger word part of the pipeline and go straight to the Power Automate trigger?

 

Any help would be appreciated

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    You can trigger a specific topic for each message received, and trigger your custom logic.

    You can switch the trigger like this:

    Thanks for the reply Henry, Is this option only available on the web app version of Power Virtual Agent? I cannot seem to find it on the Team Apps version?

    Correct, this isn't available in the PVA for Teams app. I don't think it's possible with all of its limitations and given it's still the classic version.
