2

You have a Power Automate flow that sends an email notification when a new file is added to a SharePoint document library. Users report that emails are not being sent for some files. What is the most likely cause?

3

You are designing a Power Automate flow to approve expense reports. The flow must allow managers to approve or reject directly from the email notification without signing in. Which action should you use?

4

A flow fails with the error: 'GatewayTimeout'. The flow connects to an on-premises SQL Server via a data gateway. What is the most likely cause?

5

You need to design a Power Automate flow that processes orders from a CSV file in SharePoint. The flow should read each row and create a record in a SQL database. If a row contains invalid data, the flow should continue with the next row. Which configuration should you use?

6

Which TWO components are required to create a Power Automate flow that sends an email when a new item is added to a SharePoint list? (Choose two.)

7

Which THREE are valid options for handling errors in a Power Automate flow? (Choose three.)

8

9

You review a failed flow run with the log shown. The flow is supposed to send an email when a SharePoint item is created. What is the most likely issue?

10

You are a Power Platform administrator for a large enterprise. You have created a Power Automate cloud flow that sends an approval email to the manager whenever a new employee is added to the HR system. The flow uses a SharePoint list as the trigger and a Common Data Service (CDS) connector to update the employee record. Recently, the flow has been failing intermittently with the error: 'The request failed due to a network error. The server returned an error: GatewayTimeout'. You check the flow run history and see that the error occurs on the CDS update action. The SharePoint trigger and approval actions complete successfully. The flow runs with a concurrency setting of 10. The CDS environment is in another region. You need to resolve the timeout issue. What should you do?

11

Which TWO scenarios are suitable for using a scheduled cloud flow in Power Automate?

12

Refer to the exhibit. The flow fails to send the email. What is the most likely cause?

13

You are a Power Automate developer for a large retail company. The company uses a SharePoint Online list named 'SalesOrders' to track orders. Each order has a Status column (choice: New, Processing, Shipped, Delivered). When an order is updated to 'Shipped', a flow should send an email with tracking info to the customer. Additionally, if the order amount exceeds $10,000, a manager must approve the shipment before the email is sent. You create a flow with a trigger 'When an item is modified' and add a condition to check if Status equals 'Shipped'. Inside the condition, you add an approval action. The flow currently sends the approval to the manager for all orders, even those under $10,000. You need to modify the flow so that orders under $10,000 skip the approval and directly send the email. What should you do?

14

Drag and drop the steps to create a Power BI report from a Dataverse table in the correct order.

15

Match each Power Apps license type to its description.

16

17

A company wants to automate sending a welcome email to new users added to Microsoft Entra ID. Which Power Automate trigger should they use?

18

Refer to the exhibit. You have a Power Automate flow that sends an approval email and then checks if the email was sent successfully. If successful, it updates a SharePoint item status to 'Approved'. Otherwise, it sends a rejection email. However, the flow always updates the SharePoint item to 'Approved' even when the approval email fails. What is the likely issue?

19

A manufacturing company uses Power Automate to monitor equipment sensors. When a temperature sensor exceeds a threshold, a flow sends an alert to the maintenance team. However, duplicate alerts are being sent for the same event. What should the flow developer implement to prevent duplicates?

20

30

You are a Power Automate administrator for Contoso Corporation. The company uses Microsoft 365 E5 licenses. The sales team uses a SharePoint Online list named 'Leads' to track potential customers. The list has columns: Title (single line of text), Email (single line of text), Status (choice: New, Contacted, Qualified, Lost), and Score (number). The sales manager wants to automate the following process: When a new lead is added with Status = 'New' and Score > 50, an approval request should be sent to the manager. If approved, the lead Status should be updated to 'Contacted' and an email should be sent to the lead's email address. If rejected, the lead Status should be updated to 'Lost'. Additionally, if the lead is not approved within 7 days, the flow should automatically set Status to 'Lost'. The manager is often on leave, so the flow should also send a reminder to the manager every 2 days if the approval is pending. You need to design the flow using Power Automate. Which of the following designs best meets the requirements?

31

A company uses Power Automate to automate approval workflows for purchase orders. The flow should send an approval request to the manager of the requestor.

What is the most likely cause?

32

You are designing a Power Automate cloud flow that processes customer feedback from Microsoft Forms. The flow should send an email to the customer if their feedback rating is less than 3, and also post a message to a Microsoft Teams channel for all feedback. The flow works correctly for rating 2, but for rating 1 it sends two emails instead of one. What is the most likely cause?

33

Your organization uses Power Automate to automatically create a task in Microsoft Planner when a new sales opportunity is closed in Dynamics 365. The flow triggers on a new opportunity but fails to create the task. You check the run history and see an error: 'Invalid template specification' in the 'Create a task' action. How should you resolve this?

34

35

You have a Power Automate flow that monitors a SharePoint list for new items and then sends a custom email notification using the 'Send an email (V2)' action. The email includes an attachment from the SharePoint item. Some users report that the attachment is missing from the email. What should you check first?

36

A Power Automate flow uses a 'When a HTTP request is received' trigger. The flow is called by an external application. The flow runs successfully but the external application receives a '500 Internal Server Error' response. What is the most likely cause?

37

You are creating a Power Automate flow to copy files from a SharePoint document library to a OneDrive for Business folder. The flow triggers when a new file is created in SharePoint. After saving the flow, you get a warning that the flow uses a trigger that is not supported in the 'Solutions' context. What does this mean?

38

Your organization uses Power Automate to automate the creation of support tickets in ServiceNow when a critical alert is triggered in Microsoft Sentinel. The flow uses the 'When a new alert is created' trigger from Sentinel. The flow runs but no tickets are created. You check the Sentinel log and see that alerts are being generated. What should you investigate first?

39

44

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate flow definition is shown. The flow is supposed to trigger when a high-importance email with attachments arrives in the inbox, and then send a notification email to support. However, the flow does not trigger for emails that have attachments but are not marked as high importance. What is the most likely reason?

45

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate flow definition is shown. The flow is triggered by an HTTP request with a 'score' property. When the score is greater than 0.8, it sends an approval email to the manager. Otherwise, it logs the score to a SharePoint list. The flow runs but when a score of 0.9 is submitted, no email is sent and the SharePoint log is created. What is the most likely cause?

46

You need to automatically send an email notification when a new file is added to a SharePoint document library. Which trigger should you use in a Power Automate cloud flow?

47

A Power Automate flow fails with the error 'GatewayTimeout'. The flow uses an on-premises data gateway to connect to a SQL Server database. What is the most likely cause?
