Error : Integrate external content with Copilot for Microsoft 365 using Microsoft Graph connectors built

Question

I am using ECM service. I have followed several tutorials on building Microsoft Graph connectors to work with copilot for ms365, but no external connections are created.

 

Both of the following tutorials failed to create an external connection. What could be the cause?

Is the tutorial correct?

Error message : Precondition Not Met: One or more request precondition not met.

Answer 1

Based on the provided context, it seems that Microsoft Graph connectors are responsible for creating an external connection in Microsoft 365, defining a schema for the external content, and managing external content that's imported into Microsoft 365. If you are encountering an error message when following the tutorials, it is possible that one or more request precondition is not met. You may want to double-check the prerequisites and requirements for creating external connections using Microsoft Graph connectors. Additionally, you may need Entra ID admin access to your tenant to register and consent to the required Graph permissions. The Search Administrator role is also required to deploy your Graph Connector to Copilot.
