Introduction
AI Workflows in the Workflows app for Microsoft Teams provide users with intelligent automation templates powered by Microsoft 365 Copilot. These workflows are powered by scheduled Copilot prompts through predefined templates for easier setup, helping users automate complex tasks and streamline daily operations. Admins can enable this feature by allowing access to the Workflows app in Teams.
This feature is available only to users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
This message applies to Teams for Web and Mac.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 500379.
When this will happen
Targeted Release: Rolling out late September 2025; expected completion by early October 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide): Rolling out late January 2026 (previously mid-October); expected completion by mid-February 2026 (previously late October).
How this affects your organization
Users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and access to the Workflows app in Teams will see new workflow templates powered by scheduled Copilot prompts. These templates simplify setup and enhance productivity through intelligent automation.

What you can do to prepare
To enable this feature for your users:
- Familiarize yourself with Copilot scheduled prompts.
- Enable the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams.
If you prefer to disable this feature, use Cloud Policy to set the “Allow the use of additional optional connected experiences in Office” policy to Disabled. This will also disable scheduled prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot. For more information, see Admin controls for optional connected experiences. If the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams is available to users, then this will disable AI Workflows powered by Copilot for those users.
