Copilot for Dynamics 365 Sales is in Preview at the point of writing this post. Hence, I’ll start by showing how you can turn Copilot for Dynamics 365 Sales on for your environment.

It is recommended to do this in your Sandbox instances first.

Given that you have the correct licenses setup and you are a System Administrator, you can follow the below steps in order to enable Copilot for Dynamics 365 Sales –

  1. Make sure you are in the Sales Hub app.

  2. And then go to the App Settings

  3. Here, you’ll see the Copilot as an option on the Sitemap, select that.

  4. Note that all the Settings are turned off by default.

  5. First thing you can do is, turn Auditing On. It’ll take a while to Save the changes in the background.

  6. Then, you can turn on other features which are in Preview On and enable the Copilot App based on your Published apps in your environment.

  7. Here are the Preview features which are listed under the See what’s in preview link in the above screenshot – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dynamics365/sales/view-copy-email-summary
  8. Once the changes are saved, it’ll look like this in the Published state. the selections will remain the Publish button will be disabled.

  9. At this stage, the Copilot has been enabled for the selected Apps in your environment.
    Now, you can move to other options like Opportunities and Leads tabs on the settings page.
    The Summary section in the entities will show which fields should be included in Summary information that Copilot will generate.
    The Recent Changes in the entities will show which fields should be included to keep track of the changes which happen on these fields.

Power Automate Cloud Flows designer using Copilot | Now in GA

As Microsoft rolled out using Power Automate Cloud Flows designer using Copilot on 8th Nov 2023, here’s a look at how you can use it in your scenarios while designing Cloud Flows!

Copilot in Power Automate

As you might have noticed by now (based on the currently supported region you are in), Copilot is enabled in Power Automate Flow Designer directly!

  1. You’ll notice that the Designer’s look and feel is new and refined than the previous UI. Of course, I’ll need time to get familiar with this in coming days. 😊
    But I’ll share with you what I learnt so far.

  2. Next, when you click on the Step, the Properties are on a left hand side pane so you don’t see a menu dropping down in your screen as before which needed you to scroll that used to make your Action go above the screen from the top

  3. Once the Property pane appears, you can select the different types of Triggers available from the Runtime menu which was previously a Tab within the Action selection dialog box.

  4. On the right hand side, you can see the Copilot button to show and hide the Copilot pane where you can type in your Commands.

  5. Example, I can type in a query in natural language to retrieve records from Dataverse, for example. Here’s how it looks.
    My request is then turned into an appropriate trigger retrieving the correct information I was looking for.

  6. And if I check what was retrieved, I can click on this trigger to reveal the Properties and verify/change if I need to.

  7. In case there’s something that isn’t clear to understand. You won’t be returned with any action taken on the Flow itself – probably you

  8. Then, you can simply click on the thumbs down icon and submit your feedback.

  9. I faced an issue while submitting Feedback but I think I might be missing something or this is being fixed still.


  10. Further, here’s how the Add an action works – it simply reveals the pane on the right hand side which was previously a flyout menu.


Overall, the visual improvement helps in identifying with the structural flow of logic better and I’m looking forward for more updates on this is coming days/weeks and months!


For now, you can always go back to the classic designer by clicking on the ellipses and then selecting



Here’s a link to the Microsoft post on the announcement of this feature – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-platform/release-plan/2023wave2/power-automate/use-power-automate-cloud-flows-designer-copilot?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5003911

Hope this helps!
