Business value
Variable management ensures a wide range of datatypes can be stored at the bot or topic level, enabling topics to be more data-driven and well designed. You'll be able to create bots that better suit specific customer scenarios, based on data, and with better customization.
Feature details
Topic authors can use a list variable to take array outputs from Power Automate and Bot Framework skills and present them as a list of choices in a bot question.
Looping enables a group of nodes on a topic to be repeated until a condition (expressed through Power FX) is met, which means repeating actions can be easily created within bot conversations.
