How to Trigger a specific topic of Copilot Studio Agent from Teams Bot Sdk

[HISHAN03]

1. I have tried to trigger the Topic by setting The instruction part in The Agent but it does not work.
2. Also used a variable name beginning with "#{variable}" in the start of the prompt. this also does not work

Is there any standardised way for triggering topics from SDK ?

The Planner\Orchestrator in Copilot Studio used a variety of methods to determine which topics to trigger.
the behavior does change between having generative Triggers configured or not.

There is not a 'special' method in the SDK to do it. Generally you would use a Message Activity with text that would cause your trigger to trip. That said you can also send an event activity and use the name of it to trigger a topic.
