Master Topic Variables (In & Out) with Real Examples

🚀 Learn how to master Topic Variables in Microsoft Copilot Studio with step-by-step, real-world scenarios!

In this tutorial, we explore In variables and Out variables — the two powerful options that allow you to pass values between topics, pre-fill user details, and streamline your chatbot conversations.

You’ll see how to:
⧫ Collect and reuse values across multiple topics
⧫ Pass system values like user email and name into a topic
⧫ Skip questions automatically with In variables
⧫ Return values back to the caller topic with Out variables
⧫ Debug and trace flows using Activity Map

✨ Key Takeaways

⧫ Topic Variables are scoped to a single topic but can be shared using In & Out.
⧫ Out Variables return collected values back to the calling topic.
⧫ In Variables accept values from another topic or system variables.
⧫ You can mix In & Out for reusable, modular topic flows.
⧫ Using system variables like {user.email} or {user.firstName} helps auto-populate fields.
⧫ Activity Map is essential for tracing variable flow across topics.
⧫ Ideal for real-world use cases like booking, inquiries, and training registrations.
