Hello Team,

I am attempting the Microsoft Applied Skills: Enhance Agents with Autonomous Capabilities assessment and have encountered a couple of issues that are preventing me from completing the lab.

Issues Encountered

Issue 1: Unable to Add Power Automate Flow as a Tool

  • I modified and saved the approval flow in Power Automate.
  • When I try to add the flow as a tool in Copilot Studio, the flow is not available for selection or does not appear in the tool list.

Issue 2: Outlook Connection Fails While Creating Trigger

  • While configuring the email-based trigger in Copilot Studio, I am prompted to connect Microsoft Outlook.
  • I am using the account provided in the lab instructions.
  • The Outlook connection is not being established, which prevents me from completing the trigger configuration.

Questions

  1. Are there any prerequisites required for a Power Automate flow to appear as a tool in Copilot Studio?
  2. Is there a known issue with Outlook connections in the Applied Skills assessment environment?
  3. Are there additional permissions or configuration steps required for the Outlook connector in the lab environment?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
