Copilot for Power Automate first launched in 2023 and completely changed how people think about automation. It started as a simple chat tool that could create flows from plain language, but now it’s a key part of Microsoft’s AI ecosystem. 

Today, Copilot does much more than build workflows. It understands what your business needs, connects different systems, and makes sure every automation runs smoothly and securely. Behind the scenes, it works with Azure AI Foundry, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and the Power Platform turning basic automation into smart, connected solutions. 

For anyone who has spent hours setting up flows or handling complex logic, this upgrade is a big relief. Automation is no longer hidden in the background, it’s now an active, intelligent part of your business. Copilot makes creating, managing, and improving workflows easy for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or building advanced enterprise solutions.

 Copilot will build the entire flow for you. 

Today, Copilot doesn’t just follow instructions, it understands them. It picks the right connectors, finds dependencies, and even suggests improvements based on real data.

Crafting Effective Prompts for Copilot 

Getting the best results from Copilot for Power Automate depends on how you describe what you want. Think of it like giving instructions to a helpful teammate, the clearer you are, the better the outcome. 

Tips for writing great prompts: 

✅ Start with “When X happens, do Y.” 

 This makes your intent clear. For example: 

 “When a new form response is submitted, send an approval request to my manager.” 

 Copilot knows what to trigger and what action to take. 

✅ Be specific about apps and actions. 

 Instead of saying: 

 “Send a message when there’s a new task,” 

 say: 

 “When a task is created in Planner, send a message in Teams.” 

 More context = more accurate flows. 

✅ Include conditions if needed. 

 For example: 

 “When a lead is added to Dynamics 365 with a score above 80, notify the sales manager.” 

✅ Experiment and refine. 

 If the first draft isn’t perfect, tweak your wording or add details. You can even ask Copilot to “try another version” or “add an approval step.” 

✅ Ask questions to explore ideas. 

 You don’t need a full plan before starting. Try asking: 

  • “What’s the best way to track approvals in Power Automate?” 
  • “Can you show me how to connect Outlook with SharePoint?” 
  • “How do I create a recurring reminder every Friday?” 

Copilot isn’t just a builder—it’s a collaborator. The more natural your conversation, the better it understands your goals and turns them into smart automations that save time.
