Supported enterprise data sources using Microsoft Graph connectors (preview)

The following connectors using enterprise data sources are supported in Copilot Studio:

Note

  • For better search results with Microsoft Graph connectors, we recommend having a Microsoft 365 Copilot license in the same tenant as your agent, and turn on Enhanced search results.

  • For most Microsoft Graph connectors, customers can use the same data sources to ground agent responses that are used to augment Microsoft Search. To be displayed in the enterprise data sources, they first must be configured by your tenant admin. However, Salesforce, ServiceNow Knowledge, and ZenDesk are preconfigured and available automatically.

  • You can request your tenant admin to set up a Microsoft Graph connector. For more information, see Set up Microsoft Graph connectors in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Alternatively, if a Microsoft Graph connector isn't available, you might need to connect to the source system and retrieve data. Then select Create action to use actions instead.

  • For more information about Microsoft Graph connectors and Microsoft Search, see Microsoft Graph connectors overview for Microsoft Search. This article also lists the currently supported Graph connectors.

  • Agents that use Microsoft Graph connectors as knowledge sources must be configured with the correct authentication settings when publishing to channels. The ExternalItem.Read.All scope must be provided as part of the manual authentication setting. For more information, see Configure user authentication in Copilot Studio.
