Microsoft Copilot Studio

Bring people into workflows in Microsoft Copilot Studio when a step needs their decision or information. Identify which steps need human review, pause a workflow to collect missing values, and require approval before a sensitive action runs.

Learning objectives

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

  • Identify workflow steps that warrant a human-in-the-loop gate and match the pattern to the risk.
  • Configure the native Request for information action to pause a workflow and collect specific values from a designated human.
  • Branch a workflow on a human decision by using the Yes/No input on the Request for information action, and keep a policy-gated action behind an explicit approval.

Prerequisites

  • Experience creating and testing an agent powered by the GitHub Copilot harness in Microsoft Copilot Studio.
  • Ability to build a Copilot Studio workflow on the GitHub Copilot harness with input and output parameters and connector actions.
