How to use Dynamic Chaining

In this video, I explore the differences between two powerful features: Plugin Actions and Dynamic Chaining Topics. I explain why you may use one over the other. 🚀 Also, learn how to leverage Adaptive Cards within Copilot Studio. I demonstrate how to choose records and execute plugin actions on selected items. I also delve into three strategies for handling translations for multi-language copilots.

[@ScottDurow]

Thank you for your support 🤩 Have you used or plan to use Dynamic Chaining in any projects?

[@ArafatTehsin]

@@ScottDurow Absolutely missed it. Yes, we're building a POC for now using Dynamic chaining. Use case is around Retail. Once I am done then I will hopefully be writing a blog post of the similar use-case.

[@absyoutube1792]

Thank you for the information. It helped me a lot with Copilot. I also want to learn how to customize Dynamics Copilot with custom entities(Context based).

[@ScottDurow]

Thank you for watching and commenting 🙌 Sounds like a great topic to deep dive into - could you describe your scenario a little bit for me? Thank you 🙏

[@absyoutube1792]

@@ScottDurow I need some help with customizing the Sales copilot. What are the steps to add new prompts to the prompt guide for Custom apps (Modal Driven apps) and Custom entities? If you can share any links or docs please share

[@moisenach1]

Hi Scott - I have been following your steps however when I try to save the adpative card after modifying the Power fx code , I get the following error which never goes away : "Missing required property 'OutputType' "- can you please help out ? I have tried basically everything - I can send you the code if needed
