In my previous blog, I guided you through how Power Automate and AI prompts can work together to automatically create ADO (Azure DevOps) work items. If you missed that go check it out: Azure DevOps Work items made easy with Copilot and Power Automate
In this blog I will demo how you can create a new copilot and show you how you can create a new work item and get a work item with Copilot.
Create a new custom copilot
Go to https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com/
At the side pane click on ‘Create‘:
For demo purposes I click on ‘New Copilot’:

Configure actions
Click on Actions:
Click on ‘Add an action’:
Action: Azure DevOps – Create a work item
Search for Create a work item and select the action:

Now the action will be ready to use.
For demo purposes I will not add this here but the same has to be done for the Action: Azure DevOps – Get work item details.
Publish and test your copilot!
Test your Copilot
Conclusion
All Azure DevOps actions can accomplish this. However, the blog only demonstrated two functional actions. Feel free to comment and let me know how this can be useful for your next project!
