Using Dockflow in Microsoft Copilot

Dockflow is available in Microsoft 365 Copilot, so you can ask about your containers without leaving Microsoft 365. It uses your own Dockflow account and returns the same information as the ChatGPT app.

Adding Dockflow​

  1. Open Microsoft 365 Copilot.
  2. Go to the agent store and search for Dockflow.
  3. Add it.
  4. When prompted to connect, sign in with your Dockflow account and approve the access request.

You only do this once.

Your Microsoft 365 administrator controls which agents are available in your organisation. If you cannot find or add Dockflow, ask your IT administrator to enable it for your account.

Asking a question​

Ask about a container by number:

  • "Where is container MSCU1234567?"
  • "When does MSCU1234567 arrive?"
  • "What are the ports for MSCU1234567?"

What you get back​

For every match, the answer includes:

FieldWhat it is
Container numberThe full container number
TradeflowThe tradeflow the container belongs to, and its reference
Port of loadingThe load port, with the estimated departure date
Port of dischargeThe final discharge port, with the estimated arrival date

If the same container sits on more than one tradeflow, you get one result per tradeflow. That is correct, not a duplicate.

Limits​

  • Read-only. Dockflow in Copilot can look things up. It cannot create, change or delete anything in Dockflow.
  • Your own access only. You see the tradeflows your Dockflow account can already see. Adding the agent does not change your permissions.
  • Container numbers. The lookup is by container number, not a general search.

If it does not find your container​

  1. Check the container number for typos.
  2. Open Dockflow and confirm the container is visible to your account. If it is not visible there, Copilot cannot see it either.
  3. If it is visible in Dockflow but Copilot cannot find it, contact your Dockflow contact person or raise a ticket.

Privacy and terms​

Dockflow in Copilot signs you in with your own Dockflow account. Your Dockflow password is never shared with Microsoft.
