This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 2.

The 1st of the new functionality in the Copilot for Power Automate section is use Copilot to analyze automation activity.

Improve your monitoring story by simply asking the copilot in natural language about past flow runs, machines and other related data. This feature will provide advanced operational visibility, without the need to build and deploy custom reports with a predefined set of queries and reports. The copilot may derive insights you wouldn’t have uncovered otherwise.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Nov 6, 2023
General Availability: Dec 2024

Feature Details

Administrators, CoE teams, business users and makers with access to flow run histories can query past runs in natural language across their environment. They can ask, for example, how many flows ran yesterday, on which machines or groups, what did the success rate look like, and how do they compare to last month. Ask questions about recent runs, their durations, volumes, failures, failure frequency, machines, machine groups, parent flows and much more
