Custom Data Source(JsonData) in Generative Answers

Hi all / @HenryJammes 

 

I want to create the Generative Answers based on the My custom Data Source(JsonData).

As I want to store my jsonData as Custom data in generative answers Source and then based on user input , want to search in json data and give generative answers.

 

So I tried to set the jsonData in one variable and then parse the value in Table format and then use this variable in custom data source as below,

 

jontydadhania_0-1702902596329.png

but getting below error while running,

 

Error Message: Missing or invalid assignment for variable ‘searchResult.Content’. Error Code: MissingOrInvalidRequiredProperty Conversation Id: dfd6aa0b-e7c2-4ad2-99a2-46c4ee07b31b Time (UTC): 2023-12-18T11:17:57.785Z

 

input JsonData:

[
{
"task": "create user",
"description": "This task for create user",
"dueDate": "2024-01-31"
},
{
"task": "create admin",
"description": "This task for create admin",
"dueDate": "2024-01-15"
}
]

Hi @jontydadhania,

 

I got it to work by using this formula:

 

ForAll(Topic.Table,
    { 
        Content: task & " - with description " & description & " - with due date is " & dueDate,
        ContentLocation: Blank()
    }
)

Here's the full topic YAML if you would like to repro and see the steps I've taken to get there:

    triggerQueries:

Hi @jontydadhania ,

 

I was facing the same problem. 

Basically, you need to format the input as a table with a fixed schema with the attributes/columns:

 

  • ContentLocation: URL to reference your content. From my point of view not always possible, so a dummy value should work too.
  • Content: the data you want to provide

Example: 

Suppose your using the API output schema (from ServiceNow Knowledge Management API)

hernandezpaul_1-1702974751095.png

Formatting: 

hernandezpaul_2-1702974777340.png

For each article, an entry with Content and ContentLocation is added.

 

I learned this from this great video: Copilot Studio Generating Answers from a Custom Index such as ServiceNow Knowledgebase (youtube.com)

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you @hernandezpaul, that's exactly it. Custom data expects a specific format for the table: Use a custom data source for generative answers - Microsoft Copilot Studio | Microsoft Learn

Thank you @hernandezpaul and @HenryJammes  for your quick response.

I tried that way, passed below Json to one variable and format the table schema with the attributes/columns:

Json sample data: 

{
     "claimNo": "abc908",
    "type": "car",
    "tasks":
       [
         {
             "task": "create user",
             "description": "This task for create user",
             "dueDate": "2024-01-31"
        },
        {
          "task": "create admin",
          "description": "This task for create admin",
          "dueDate": "2024-01-15"
        }
    ]
 }

But still getting below error,

 

Error Message: Missing or invalid assignment for variable ‘searchResult.Content’. Error Code: MissingOrInvalidRequiredProperty Conversation Id: b03504f5-019d-406e-8ea8-2c750e637732 Time (UTC): 2023-12-19T13:13:47.534Z

 

My Usecase: Based on jsonData I want to search and create generative answers on user input.

                     Example:  if user ask in copilot: what is due date for user task?

                                     then based on this json copilot will provide generative answers to user.

 

 

Please let me know what am i missing here to get the result?

 

Thanks for help

Hello @HenryJammes 

 

My Use case: Based on the custom connectors response (Json data), will store this Json response in variable and now based on user input, I want to create generative answers from that json response. I don't want to search from any document.

 

Please suggest, how can i solve my use case using copilot studio?

 

Let me know if need more details.

Thanks for Help....

Thanks a lot @HenryJammes for help.
now it's working and I have accepted the solution.

In Copilot I am using http request and getting the values from API. And the response is in the following format:

[
    {
        "TicketNumber": "XYZ9876543210",
        "FlightStatus": "Scheduled",
        "Departure": "Chennai",
        "DepartureTime": "2024-03-18T06:30:15.932Z",
        "Arrival": "Trichy",
        "ArrivalTime": "2024-03-18T09:30:15.951Z",
        "AirlineName": "IndiGo",
        "ClassOfService": "Economy"
    },
    {
        "TicketNumber": "ABC1234567890",
        "FlightStatus": "Scheduled",
        "Departure": "Chennai",
        "DepartureTime": "2024-03-18T07:30:42.231Z",
        "Arrival": "Trichy",
        "ArrivalTime": "2024-03-18T10:00:42.258Z",
        "AirlineName": "IndiGo",
        "ClassOfService": "Economy"
    }
]
Now I have stored this response to a variable of Table type.
Initially I was getting this error- Error Message: Missing or invalid assignment for variable ‘searchResult.Content’. 
 
Then I tried as you've mentioned above with below formula -
ForAll(Topic.FlightDetails,
{
Content: TicketNumber & " - with Status " & FlightStatus ,
ContentLocation: Blank()
}
)
 
(Note: I am using this formula in the data source of Generative answers. Correct me if that's wrong.)
 
Here, TicketNumber and FlightStatus are the fields from the json provided above.
 
On doing this, I am getting below error-

Name isn't valid. 'TicketNumber' isn't recognized.

Name isn't valid. 'FlightStatus' isn't recognized.

 

Please help me on this!
