We are announcing a new way to configure triggers within Copilot Studio. This feature will allow you to create an agent with a trigger and actions that can be shared with multiple users, where each user can provide their own credentials to trigger the agent. This ensures the agent is secure and easy to manage and use. This feature will reach general availability on June 2, 2025.
How does this affect me?
You will be able to configure custom agents to perform actions or call topics in response to events using triggers. Unlike topic triggers, which require user input, event triggers allow your agent to act autonomously when a defined event occurs. This new feature lets you create triggers for autonomous agents that run using end users’ credentials. This means you can create an agent that operates entirely in the background, triggered by external events, and share it with end users so they can configure the agent to run on their behalf.
As a maker, you will:
- Create an agent and add a trigger.
- Configure the trigger to run with end user credentials.
- Publish and share the agent.
- Notify the end user that an agent has been shared with them and prompt them to configure and enable the agent.
- Once configured and enabled, the agent will begin to operate on behalf of the end user. This feature provides a seamless way to automate tasks and improve efficiency by leveraging event triggers and end user credentials. It ensures that agents can act independently and be easily shared and configured by multiple users.
What action do I need to take?

The recent announcement about Microsoft Copilot Studio’s new feature to configure triggers with end user credentials is exciting news for both admins and users. This advancement promises to streamline processes and enhance user experience significantly.
For admins, this update means less time spent managing user-specific triggers and more time focusing on strategic initiatives. By allowing users to input their own credentials, it alleviates the administrative burden of configuring individual settings for each user. Furthermore, the ability to create agents that operate autonomously in response to defined events can lead to increased efficiency across workflows. Who wouldn’t want a little more time in their day to enjoy that extra cup of coffee?
On the user side, the implications are just as beneficial. Users will have the power to configure custom agents that can act on their behalf, making their day-to-day tasks feel less like a never-ending to-do list. The seamless integration of these event-driven triggers means that users can sit back and let the agents do the heavy lifting, while they focus on more important matters—like perfecting their coffee brewing technique or catching up on that show everyone’s been raving about.
The overall impact of these changes is expected to be substantial. As teams become more agile with the ability to automate routine tasks, productivity could see a notable boost. This feature could very well be the catalyst for a new era of efficient collaboration.
I encourage everyone to share their thoughts on this update! How do you think it will change your workflow?
