Enable Copilot assist

The Copilot allows agents to use Copilot features such as respond to questions, suggest a response, and compose an email.

Prerequisites

You have the System Administrator role.

Enable Copilot assist features

Perform the following steps to enable the Copilot features in Contact Center admin center:

  1. Use one of the following navigation options:
    • Select Manage in Agent Experience > Productivity > Copilot for questions and emails.
    • Select Manage in Operations > Insights > Copilot for questions and emails
  2. The Copilot for questions and emails page appears. You can select the Copilot features you'd like to enable for agents on this page.
  • Ask a question: The Ask a question tab appears when agents sign in to the application. Agents can ask questions conversationally, and Copilot answers the questions based on the internal knowledge base sources.
  • Help pane - write an email: The Write an email tab appears when agents sign in to the application. Agents can use Copilot to make emails clearer, concise, and compelling.

Configure knowledge sources

You can configure the knowledge base for Copilot to generate responses.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have knowledge management configured in your environment and your knowledge article parameters are as follows:

  • Updated with the latest version
  • The state is set to Published

Note

Copilot uses the content attribute only in the knowledge article table to generate responses for ask a question, write an email, and draft a chat features. You can't customize the behavior.

Enable knowledge base

Select Knowledge base to allow Copilot to utilize internal knowledge base resources for generating responses. Copilot uses the resources for the ask a question and draft an email features, both in the Copilot help pane and the rich text editor. By default, the option is disabled.

If you disable the knowledge base option, agents use Copilot to draft an email using the Suggest a call, Request more information, Empathize with feedback and Custom prompts.

Add trusted webpages as sources

You can select Add web address in Web resources to add trusted domains. You can add up to five trusted web domains for Copilot to search and generate responses from. Copilot searches for information up to two levels down from the configured domain. Copilot uses articles that are two nodes down the configured domain.

Note

  • The knowledge base content is refreshed every day.
  • External websites are used by Copilot to draft emails and chat replies only.

Enable translation

Select Let agents translate responses to allow agents to translate responses generated by Copilot to their preferred language. Agents can choose from a list of languages that your organization has added to Dynamics 365 Contact Center.
