Copilot Studio can be used to extend Copilot for Sales with actions or plugins. These plugins can be either developed within your enterprise or sourced from Microsoft and other partners.

For more information on connector plugins, see Copilot connectors, actions, and extensions overview (preview).

As a Copilot for Sales administrator, you can manage plugins for Copilot for Sales within your CRM instance by enabling or disabling specific plugins from Copilot Studio.

Note

By enabling a connector action for Copilot for Sales, you may be allowing Copilot for Sales users on Microsoft 365 and Teams applications to send and receive data from external sources using Copilot for Sales. Data transfer may occur even if the same connector action has been disallowed for use directly with Microsoft 365. You should ensure that this action complies with your organization policies before enabling it.

The data and insights that connector actions bring to Copilot for Sales experiences are powered by third parties and may be subject to third party terms and conditions and/or privacy policies. We recommend you validate connector actions for compliance with your organization policies.
