Copilot Handoff - How to Use?

[lifan0127]

Hi @aacebo , I see you recently introduced the handoff handler (#1562). But I can't figure out how to use it. I am interested in the bot-to-bot handoff feature as described in the following article, but their example doesn't use the team-ai library. Do you have any guidance?

here is an example of using the handler

we don't have a sample for this yet but we will in the future.

Thanks for your prompt response! I still don't know how to trigger the handoff handler. Here is what I tried:

• Add the handoff handler in Bot A
• In another bot (Bot B), display an Action.OpenUrl button with a "deep link" pointing to Bot A (and a random string as the continuation token)
• Click on the link, my Teams window switches to Bot A, but the handoff function is not triggered.

Hi @aacebo , is there any update regarding this feature? I imagine that, for many customers, Copilot interoperability is becoming an important, though not immediate, requirement for custom AI bots. Thanks!
