Prepping My Agent for Payload Handoff to My Flow

[razor7tech]

Hello--

Hello group! I'm new to posting in this forum. New citizen developer here - sort of a vibe coder. I created a Copilot agent via the built in Copilot helper. It works great for returning answers to my queries (find outdated and obsolete pages in my company intranet, etc.) I want to be able to have those responses handed over to a flow as an exported Excel spreadsheet when the agent triggers it.

I have been able to create an agent that works. I have been able to create a flow that works, but I am hitting a wall when it comes to having the agent payload handed off to the flow. I have ditched two flows because it takes less time to create a new one than trying to force them to work with my agent.

Are there any basic or foundational formats or structures I should be using in my agent, so it isn't such a monumental task to hand off the payload to a simple flow?

My plan A is to have a dual-purpose agent return results in the chat bubble and have that same data handed off to my flow, but if that ends up being too complex for a beginner like me, my plan B is to ditch the agent responses and just have the flow export to an Excel spreadsheet.

I can post my agent Instructions if that would help.

Any help is appreciated.
