Business value

By integrating human input seamlessly into automated processes via structured forms delivered through Outlook, organizations can accelerate resolution times, improve data quality, and maintain momentum in complex workflows that require human judgment.

Feature details

The Request for Information action empowers businesses to build more resilient and intelligent automations by enabling agents to pause mid-flow and collect missing or critical data directly from users. This reduces flow failures caused by incomplete inputs, eliminates the need for manual restarts, and ensures that decisions are made with complete, accurate information.

The action is available in agent flows and is called Request for Information. The action introduces a human-in-the-loop step, allowing agents to pause execution and collect specific maker-defined input from people. The inputs can be in the form of text, numbers, email addresses, binary inputs and more.
