New Power Automate Flow in Tools

2 Microsoft Employee

I'm in Level 2 building my autonomous agent and trying to add a power automate flow to pull info from the new employee list to send an welcome email. The training said to use "New Power Automate Flow". I don't see that as a tool.

Copilot is telling me " You can NO LONGER create a flow directly inside Copilot Studio (Tools tab)"

That we have to create the flow in Power Automate (outside Copilot Studio) then Add: “Respond to the agent” action, save it then go back to Copilot Studio and add tool/flow

Before I go down this path can anyone confirm Copilot is correct or am I just missing the New Power Automate Flow tool in Copilot Studio?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi @KO-24041927-0,

In the current Copilot Studio experience, you can no longer create a new Power Automate flow directly from the Tools tab.

The supported approach today is to create the flow in Power Automate, ensure it includes the appropriate Copilot trigger and a Respond to the agent action, and then add that flow back to Copilot Studio as a tool.

Microsoft has been evolving the agent and flow experience to be more integrated, and some environments now surface more agent‑focused flow options directly in Copilot Studio. However, standard cloud flows created in Power Automate are still fully supported and commonly used.

In short, the Tools tab is no longer the place to create flows. It’s now primarily used to register and manage flows that were built elsewhere for use by the agent.
