Scheduled prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot are moving to native Copilot scheduling and the Tasks view

Microsoft 365 Copilot is moving scheduled prompts from Power Platform to native Copilot scheduling, enabling automatic execution of one-time or recurring tasks within Microsoft 365 compliance boundaries. The Power Platform-based experience retires December 31, 2026. Users manage tasks via the Copilot app’s Tasks > Scheduled view. We are updating scheduled prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot to use native Copilot scheduling infrastructure instead of Power Platform. Users can continue scheduling one-time or recurring tasks using natural language, with Copilot executing tasks automatically and returning results to the associated conversation. The new experience operates independently of Power Platform, including where Power Automate is disabled, and processes and stores scheduled task data within the Microsoft 365 compliance boundary. The existing Power Platform-based scheduled prompts experience will retire on December 31, 2026.
