This tutorial explains how to trigger Copilot Studio using built-in SQL triggers and apply it in real-world automation scenarios. Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Configure SQL triggers in Copilot Studio

• Customize event trigger flows for better control

• Create global variables to store payloads

• Reference payloads in system instructions for dynamic automation

The purpose is to help developers and architects build autonomous agents faster by understanding event triggers and why they matter. It also covers best practices for managing context—too much context can slow down agents or create complexity.

Finally, it shows how payloads captured within an agent can be reused as inputs for other tools and flows, enabling smarter integrations and more efficient workflows.
