Run a declarative workflow as agent

[bfirme]

What should be the first executor of a declarative workflow in order to be possible to convert the workflow as an agent?
When converting to agent, the messages are not arriving to workflow executors.

kind: Workflow
trigger:
  kind: OnConversationStart
  id: create_document_from_email
  actions:

    # ========================================================================
    # Step 1: Validate the Customer
    # ========================================================================

    - kind: InvokeAzureAgent
      id: customer_validation_agent
      conversationId: =System.ConversationId
      agent:
        name: CustomerValidationAgent
      input:
        messages: =System.LastMessage
     output:
        responseObject: Local.CustomerData

    # Workflow end
    - kind: EndWorkflow
      id: workflow_end

@bfirme are you trying to run this in Python or .NET?

In any case:

When converting a declarative workflow to an agent, the first executor should be InvokeAzureAgent without explicit input.messages. Instead, use conversationId: =System.ConversationId to let the agent pull from the conversation context automatically.

kind: Workflow
trigger:
  kind: OnConversationStart
  id: my_workflow
  actions:
    - kind: InvokeAzureAgent
      id: first_agent
      conversationId: =System.ConversationId
      agent:
        name: MyAgent
      # No input.messages - conversation context is used implicitly

Don't use input.messages: =System.LastMessage on the first agent: System.LastMessage is only populated after an InvokeAzureAgent runs, so it's empty at workflow start.
