SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Deploying Employee Self-Service (ESS) agents without verifying environment readiness leads to failed launches, broken integrations, and wasted troubleshooting time. This Skill eliminates that risk by running comprehensive pre-deployment checks across all required system components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Scope Validation: Run targeted checks for full environment health, specific integrations (Workday, ServiceNow), or local agent files only.
  • Automated Integration Checks: Validates licenses, Entra roles, Power Platform configuration, and Workday/ServiceNow/SAP connections, flows, and environment variables.
  • Actionable Reporting: Generates a detailed report with pass/fail status, priority levels, and direct remediation links, plus offers auto-fixes for common configuration issues.
  • Use Case: A maker preparing to publish an ESS agent can run a full check to catch missing Workday connections or disabled flows before go-live, avoiding post-deployment outages.

Quick Start

Use the flightcheck skill to run a full pre-deployment readiness check for your ESS agent and review the generated report for any issues that need resolution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate ESS agent readiness before deployment in Copilot Studio?

To validate ESS agent readiness before deployment, run a pre-deployment validation check that scans Copilot Studio environment configurations, Entra roles, licenses, and integration connections. This generates a structured pass/fail report with required remediation steps.

Can I automatically fix missing Workday or ServiceNow connections before publishing an agent?

Yes, pre-deployment validation offers optional auto-remediation capabilities for common configuration errors like missing Workday or ServiceNow connections and disabled flows. It applies auto-fixes directly to ensure environment readiness before publishing.

What is pre-deployment validation for Employee Self-Service agents?

Pre-deployment validation for Employee Self-Service agents is an automated readiness check that scans live environment configurations and locally extracted agent files. It prevents failed launches by verifying licenses, Entra roles, and Power Platform settings.

Does the readiness check support SAP integration validation alongside Workday and ServiceNow?

Yes, the readiness check supports SAP integration validation alongside Workday and ServiceNow. It validates connections, flows, and environment variables for these platforms to ensure your Employee Self-Service agent integrations are fully configured.

Why do I need to check Power Platform settings and Entra roles before go-live?

You need to check Power Platform settings and Entra roles before go-live to prevent post-deployment outages and broken integrations. Verifying these configurations ensures your ESS agent has the correct licenses and permissions to function properly.

What is the best way to run a targeted readiness check for local agent files only?

The best way to run a targeted readiness check for local agent files only is to execute a multi-scope validation that scans locally extracted agent packages. This isolates file-specific configuration issues without querying live environment settings.
