Using Copilot to create an IT helpdesk chatbot
1. Create a chatbot
Create a custom agent by describing what you want it to do, including instructions, including triggers, knowledge to pull answers from including links and support documentation, and actions such as creating a helpdesk ticket.
Copilot Studio
Activity: Create an agent in Copilot Studios by describing what you want it to do, and adding resources and actions for it to take, and triggers for different flows.
2. Add internal policies
Add internal help policies for your agent to use when answering questions.
Copilot Studio
Activity: Add a link to an internal troubleshooting document Trigger, and add a description “return answers about troubleshooting connection issues.”
3. Ticket Status
Allow users to check the status on helpdesk tickets they have raised.
