Copilot Studio Workflow - Inbuilt Agents
Overview
Copilot Studio now supports agentic workflows with inbuilt agents created directly inside the flow.
If you have used Microsoft Foundry Workflow, the experience will feel familiar: triggers, actions, inline testing, flow notes, and governance hooks all come together in one place.
Copilot Studio agentic workflows can connect to declarative agents using the #M365Copilot action or to custom agents built inside #CopilotStudio.
Add a “New agent for this workflow”
This post shows how to configure an inbuilt agent inside a Copilot Studio workflow.

Example:
3. Add additional agents as needed
You can chain multiple agents inside the workflow to handle triage, routing, classification, or escalation.

Run the workflow from the designer and confirm each node completes successfully.
