Business value

Save time and increase productivity when makers add unstructured ZenDesk knowledge base content to Microsoft Copilot Studio agents. Users access these knowledge base articles along with any other knowledge sources they add to an agent. They don't need to go to other ZenDesk clients to find answers.

Feature details

With this capability, makers can use ZenDesk knowledge base content in unstructured storage as a knowledge source for their agents in Copilot Studio.

This capability enables agents to provide high-quality answers based on operational data within your ZenDesk configuration.

Administrators can manage access to this data by configuring the ZenDesk connector in the Power Platform admin center.

Makers can connect to ZenDesk as a knowledge source and select knowledge base unstructured sources for the agent to use when it generates results or answers queries. You configure connections to knowledge sources in Copilot Studio when you create a new agent or when you configure or update an existing agent.

Dataverse processes and indexes knowledge base content. This process gives agent users accurate, detailed results for natural language queries. Users see only answers based on data they can access. The system checks user access tokens against ZenDesk content before it sends a response. Users can access the original articles through citation references.

Scheduled sync keeps the knowledge base data up to date. Sync happens within a 4- to 6-hour window.
