Troubleshooting: Control 2.19 — Customer AI Disclosure and Transparency

Last Updated: April 2026


Common Issues at a Glance

Issue Likely Cause First Action
Disclosure not appearing on first turn Conversation Start topic missing or disclosure node not first Open the Conversation Start topic; ensure the disclosure Send-message node is the first node
Disclosure appears in Web but not in Teams Custom welcome message is overriding the Conversation Start topic in the Teams channel Disable the channel-level welcome message and let the topic fire
Transfer conversation node greyed out Engagement hub not configured at the agent level Configure handoff in Settings → Customer engagement (Dynamics 365 / generic hub) before adding the node
Handoff fires but no live agent receives Queue routing rules / unified-routing workstream not bound Verify the workstream + queue exist and that the bot user is added to the queue
Periodic reminder never fires Threshold variable not initialised; condition uses wrong namespace Set System.Conversation.LastReminderTime on Conversation Start; re-check condition expression
Disclosure event not logged LogAiDisclosureEvent flow disabled or connection broken Power Automate → check flow run history; reauthorize the Dataverse connection
Wrong disclosure level surfaces Agent's zone classification incorrect in Agent Card Reconcile with Control 3.1 inventory and reapply the right copy version
Jurisdiction overlay missing Jurisdiction signal not flowing into the agent Verify the upstream variable (e.g., session token claim or CRM lookup) is populated before the disclosure node

Detailed Troubleshooting

Issue 1 — Disclosure Not Appearing

Symptoms: Users can interact without seeing AI disclosure.

Diagnostic steps:

  1. Confirm the disclosure lives in the Conversation Start topic (not the legacy Greeting topic) and is the first node
  2. In Copilot Studio, open the Test bot pane and start a new conversation — does the disclosure appear here?
  3. Reproduce in each customer channel (Web Chat, Teams, Omnichannel, Direct Line)
  4. For Teams: open Teams Admin Center → Manage apps → your agent → confirm no custom welcome message is set on the Teams channel that would suppress the topic
  5. For Direct Line / custom client: ensure the client sends an event activity of type conversationUpdate to fire the Conversation Start topic

Resolution:

  • Move the disclosure Send-message node to position 1 in the Conversation Start topic
  • Remove any condition node before it that might short-circuit it
  • Republish the agent and clear channel caches
  • For custom Direct Line clients, verify the welcome event handshake

Issue 2 — Human Handoff Not Triggering

Symptoms: User asks for a human; the bot keeps responding as AI.

Diagnostic steps:

  1. Open system topic Escalate → confirm trigger phrases include common synonyms (human, person, representative, advisor, agent, complaint)
  2. Confirm a Transfer conversation node exists at the end of the topic (not just a Send-message that says "transferring…")
  3. In the node properties, confirm the engagement hub dropdown is set (not "None") and the queue/workstream is selected
  4. For Dynamics 365 Customer Service: confirm the bot's application user is added as a queue member and the unified-routing workstream is published
  5. Check the most recent topic-execution trace in Copilot Studio for the Escalate topic

Resolution:


Issue 3 — Disclosure Events Not Being Logged

Symptoms: Compliance cannot find disclosure rows in fsi_aidisclosurelog.

Diagnostic steps:

  1. In Power Automate, open the LogAiDisclosureEvent flow → 28-day run history → look for failed runs
  2. If runs fail with auth errors, the Dataverse connection has expired or the connection owner left the org
  3. If runs succeed but no row appears, check Create record action input — column names may have drifted (fsi_eventtype vs fsi_event_type, etc.)
  4. Confirm the flow is invoked from each disclosure-related node in the topic

Resolution:

  • Reauthorize the Dataverse connection under a service account / managed identity
  • Re-bind action inputs to the correct logical column names
  • Add the flow call to any topic node that surfaces disclosure but currently skips logging

Issue 4 — Periodic Reminder Not Appearing

Symptoms: Long sessions never see a reminder.

Diagnostic steps:

  1. Open the AI Reminder topic → check the trigger condition syntax against current Power Fx grammar
  2. Confirm System.Conversation.LastReminderTime is initialised on Conversation Start (otherwise the now() - blank comparison fails silently)
  3. Check whether the reminder is competing with a higher-priority topic that always fires first

Resolution:

  • Initialise the variable in Conversation Start
  • Adjust topic priority so the reminder is reachable
  • Lower the threshold in non-prod to validate the path before restoring production threshold

Issue 5 — Wrong Disclosure Level

Symptoms: A Zone 3 agent shows the basic disclosure, or vice versa.

Diagnostic steps:

  1. Open the Agent Card (Control 3.1) and confirm the recorded zone classification
  2. Open the Conversation Start topic and confirm the message variant matches the zone
  3. Inspect the disclosure-version global variable for staleness

Resolution:

  • Update the Agent Card and re-publish the matching disclosure variant
  • If the zone genuinely changed, run the Control 2.3 zone-promotion review before changing copy

How to Confirm Configuration is Active

Disclosure delivery

  1. Start a fresh conversation in each customer channel
  2. Confirm the disclosure renders first
  3. Confirm DisclosureDelivered row in the log within 1 minute

Human handoff

  1. Use a trigger phrase
  2. Confirm the live agent (or your test queue) receives the conversation with full context
  3. Confirm EscalationOffered and EscalationAccepted rows in the log

Logging integrity

  1. Run Validate-Control-2.19.ps1 (read-only)
  2. All three checks should return PASS

Escalation Path

Tier Owner When to Engage
1 Copilot Studio Agent Author Topic content, node configuration, copy fixes
2 Power Platform Admin Environment, connectors, engagement-hub binding, DLP impact
3 AI Administrator Tenant-level Copilot settings affecting disclosure surfaces
4 Compliance Officer Disclosure copy approval, regulatory interpretation
5 Legal Counsel State-law (CA/UT/CO) edge cases, UDAAP exposure
6 Microsoft Support Platform behavior (handoff failures, channel regressions) — open ticket via Power Platform Admin Center

Known Limitations (April 2026)

Limitation Impact Workaround
No native, tenant-wide "AI disclosure" toggle in Copilot Studio Each agent must implement disclosure individually Use a shared solution / template agent and clone for new agents
Topic content is not exposed by an admin API Disclosure copy cannot be mutated via PowerShell Use Copilot Studio portal or solution import; gate via Control 2.4 ALM
Some custom Direct Line clients suppress the conversation-start event Disclosure may not render Implement a client-side disclosure render OR require a starter intent that fires the topic
Forced acknowledgement of disclosure is not a built-in capability Cannot block conversation until user clicks [I understand] natively Use an Adaptive Card with required input + Question node that loops until acknowledged
Generic engagement-hub adapters require custom development Non-Microsoft hubs need an adapter Follow Configure handoff to a generic engagement hub and the contact-center skill-handoff sample
