Stopping inbuilt plugins to trigger

We’re working on a use case where users request specific software, and our organization maintains a list of available software on a SharePoint site. Our solution uses a compound action: it fetches the software list via HTTP and script actions, then filters and displays results based on what the user asks. We’ve added both positive and negative utterances as well.

The issue is that when someone asks for a particular software (for instance, “I need Teams”), our workflow works sometimes. But if the user says something like “I need to install Teams,” the system often triggers an internal plugin—such as installation help forms or knowledge base articles—instead of using our custom plugin. Even though our internal team has disabled some pre-built plugins, we still get unwanted results from forms. This means the intended custom plugin either fails or returns unnecessary or irrelevant information.

Sometimes it works (“I need Teams” gives the right result), while other times, like with “I need to install Teams,” it triggers unrelated internal responses.

Has anyone run into issues like this or know what else I might be missing? What can be done to better handle these situations and make sure the custom workflow/plugin is prioritized?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hey ​@mandarmarkandeya - does your Assistant still have the built-in software plugin turned on? Can you tell us which internal plugin gets triggered instead?

Right now no plugin is getting triggered , but the bot is searching for forms and returning results from there. Instead of the Plugin. What we want is it should only fetch results from the Plugin for all such queries. Regarding installation, or requesting software's. It works fine with rest of the software in the sharepoint list. But when it comes to softwares like Teams , It works when user says I need Teams , but not when user says I need to install teams.

And you have the word install in your plugin positive utterance examples? You may need to add more utterance examples if nothing is being triggered's
