Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Microsoft Copilot, an AI-powered work assistant designed to boost creativity and improve productivity for small and medium-sized organisations.
Before we dive into the details of Microsoft Copilot, let’s take a moment to understand what Power Automate is. Power Automate is a cloud-based service offered by Microsoft that allows users to create automated workflows between applications and services. It helps automate repetitive tasks, thereby bringing efficiencies to any organisation. Power Automate is part of the Microsoft Power Platform line of products, which also includes Power Apps and Power BI.

The Power of Copilot and Power Automate
Building Power Automate flows without predefined templates can often be a mundane and complicated process. But with Copilot integrated into Power Automate, this process becomes much smoother. How? Flows can be built based on just the natural language input from the user. Yes, you read that right!
You can tell Copilot what the goal of the process is, for example, "I need a notification for every time this specific document is updated in SharePoint".
Feature Details
This feature integrates 3 separate Microsoft tools - Copilot, Power Automate, and Business Central. Starting with Copilot within Power Automate, you can automate tasks within Business Central by just asking Copilot, enabling you to start creating automation flows based on natural language. When such flows are opened in Power Automate for further refinement, you can take advantage of the Copilot experience in Power Automate.
Copilot in Power Automate allows open-ended and conversational experiences while authoring flows that use your Business Central data. You can ask questions and get assistance to improve and change those flows. Copilot stays with you in your flow and helps you build, set up, and run an automation on your behalf through a comfortable chat experience. Copilot takes your input and provides either documentation, links, or answers in the Copilot chat pane. But most importantly, it makes changes to the structure of the flow based on your natural language description.
This feature helps you streamline business processes and improve productivity by shortening the path to automation.
