Capturing the first utterance from the user into a variable using PVA

[Anonymous]

Hi Team,

I have created a bot using PVA in teams and used QnA Maker to connect the bot to the database using Power Automate. Is there a way I can capture the first utterance of the user, which is the trigger phrase into a variable?

Regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

Not yet, unfortunately.

We have a planned feature that will be available in April that you will able to create variables inside your topic like "the user starts on the RH topic" or something like that. You can follow all planned features here: New and planned features for Power Virtual Agents, 2021 release wave 1 | Microsoft Docs

Or you can create your idea here: https://aka.ms/pva/community/ideas
