Microsoft Copilot Studio – Configure triggers with end user credentials for seamless event driven automation

Originally posted by Microsoft May 5, 2025 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We are announcing a new way to configure triggers within Copilot Studio. This feature will allow you to create an agent with a trigger and actions that can be shared with multiple users, where each user can provide their own credentials to trigger the agent. This ensures the agent is secure and easy to manage and use. This feature will reach general availability on June 2, 2025.

How does this affect me?

You will be able to configure custom agents to perform actions or call topics in response to events using triggers. Unlike topic triggers, which require user input, event triggers allow your agent to act autonomously when a defined event occurs. This new feature lets you create triggers for autonomous agents that run using end users’ credentials. This means you can create an agent that operates entirely in the background, triggered by external events, and share it with end users so they can configure the agent to run on their behalf.

As a maker, you will:

1. Create an agent and add a trigger.
2. Configure the trigger to run with end user credentials.
3. Publish and share the agent.
4. Notify the end user that an agent has been shared with them and prompt them to configure and enable the agent.
5. Once configured and enabled, the agent will begin to operate on behalf of the end user. This feature provides a seamless way to automate tasks and improve efficiency by leveraging event triggers and end user credentials. It ensures that agents can act independently and be easily shared and configured by multiple users.
