Once an A360 automation has been imported to Blueprint and its Copilot information generated, it can be added to a Microsoft Copilot Agent — enabling the agent to trigger the automation on demand.

***

# Setup: Environment Variable

Before adding an A360 automation to a Copilot Agent, you must create an Environment Variable in the Dataverse Default Solution. This provides Blueprint with the connection information needed to reach your Automation Anywhere Control Center when the agent triggers a run.

:::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Dataverse Default Solution**, add a new Environment Variable and name it (e.g., *A360\_settings*)
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Set **Data Type** to \{} JSON
:::

::::WorkflowBlockItem
In **Default Value**, enter the following structure:

:::BlockQuote
\{  "site": "\<<font color="#2166AE">URL</font>>",  "<font color="#EF4444">username</font>": "\<username>",  "apiKey": "\<<font color="#6B21A8">apiKey</font>>",  "deploymentDeviceId": \<<font color="#14B8A6">ID</font>>}
:::

where:

- \<<font color="#2166AE">URL</font>> — address of your Automation Anywhere Control Center (e.g., https\://a360acme.com)
- \<<font color="#EF4444">username</font>> — your username in Control Center
- \<<font color="#6B21A8">apiKey</font>> — generate in Control Center: click your username at the bottom left **-> My Settings -> Generate API Key**

\<<font color="#14B8A6">ID</font>> — your deployment device ID: go to **Manage -> Devices**, select your device, and find the number in the URL between "mydevices" and "edit"
**Example:**

:::BlockQuote
\{  "site": "https\://a360-dev.concare.com",  "username": "tony.higgins",  "apiKey": "x9>b$%^YrT=\`KRNBU6U7\{yq=@!LvZ9\_L\_|xUc\_fa\`",  "deploymentDeviceId": 6}

# Step 1: Find the Automation

Locate the A360 automation (Main Task Bot) you want to add using any of the following:

- Filters in the main automation list
- Navigation from the main dashboard
- The **Find with AI** search bar at the top right of the automation list
- The **AI Navigator**, available at the bottom right of the screen

***

# Step 2: Generate Copilot Information

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Open the automation and select the **Agent Descriptions** tab
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the Copilot area, click **Generate with AI**.&#x20;
Blueprint automatically fills in all required Copilot information using GenAI
:::
::::

:::hint{type="info"}
ⓘ If you located the automation using the AI Navigator, you can also generate the Agent Description directly from within the AI Navigator.
:::

***

# Step 3: Add the Automation to a Copilot Agent

With Copilot information generated, add the automation using either method:

- Select **Add to Agent** from the **Actions** dropdown at the top right of the automation's page
- Select **Add to Agent** from the AI Navigator after selecting the automation

A dialog appears where you select the Copilot Agent and the Power Platform Environment Variable created in the setup step above. Click **Continue** — the Copilot Agent is now configured to use the A360 automation.
