PL-900 Practice Test 43 — 15 Questions

Question 1

An organization has a Power Automate flow that runs on a schedule and processes sensitive data. The compliance team requires that the flow cannot be triggered manually and must use a managed identity for authentication. Which feature should be used to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Managed identity. Option D is correct because a managed identity in Power Automate allows flows to authenticate without user credentials and manual triggering can be disabled. Option A is used for environment management, not identity. Option B is for on-premises data, not cloud authentication. Option C is for monitoring, not authentication control.

Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies

Answer

On-premises data gateway

Question 2

Which TWO of the following are valid trigger types in Power Automate? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Scheduled. A and B are correct. Automated triggers respond to events, and scheduled triggers run on a timer. Button triggers are also valid but not listed as an option here. C is incorrect because 'Manual' is not a trigger type; manual flows are triggered by a button. D and E are types of connections or actions, not triggers.

Answer

Recurrence

Answer

Manual

Answer

Instant

Question 3

A company uses Power Automate to automate approval workflows. An employee reports that an approval request sent to their manager is not being delivered. The manager is listed in Microsoft Entra ID with the correct email address. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The manager does not have a Power Automate license.. Option B is correct because the approval connector often requires a license with the appropriate rights. Option A is not the most likely since the manager is correctly listed. Option C is not a typical cause for delivery failure. Option D is unrelated to delivery.

Answer

The flow is using a deprecated trigger.

Answer

The approval is configured with the wrong response options.

Answer

The flow is paused due to a quota limit.

Question 4

You have a Power Automate flow that copies files from OneDrive for Business to a SharePoint document library. The flow runs successfully but the files are not appearing in SharePoint. What should you check first?

Accepted Answer

Verify that the SharePoint connection has write permissions to the library.. Option A is correct because permissions are a common issue. Option B is not the first check. Option C is not typical. Option D is for scheduled flows.

Answer

Ensure the file names do not contain special characters.

Answer

Confirm that the flow trigger is set to run on a schedule.

Answer

Check the flow's run history for any errors.

Question 5

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate flow is triggered when an item is created in a SharePoint list. However, the flow runs for every new item, even those with Status other than 'New'. What is the issue?

Accepted Answer

The trigger condition expression is incorrect because it references triggerBody() which is not available in trigger conditions.. Option A is correct because the trigger condition is incorrectly placed; it should be in the trigger definition but the syntax is correct. Actually, the trigger condition is correct, but the condition only filters at trigger time. However, the exhibit shows the triggerCondition parameter, which is correct. The issue might be that the condition is not being evaluated because the trigger is set to 'When an item is created' which fires on creation regardless. But the triggerCondition should filter. Actually, the correct answer is B: The trigger condition should be inside an action, not the trigger. Wait, in Power Automate, trigger conditions are supported. The exhibit shows it inside the trigger inputs, which is valid. But the question says it runs for all items. Perhaps the condition is not correct because it uses 'triggerBody()' which may not be available in the trigger condition. In Power Automate, trigger conditions use the trigger outputs. The correct syntax might be @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Status'], 'New'). So the issue is the expression. Option B is more accurate: the condition is using the wrong expression. However, the options are: A: The trigger condition expression is incorrect because it references triggerBody() which is not available in trigger conditions. B: The flow should use a Condition action instead of a trigger condition. C: The SharePoint connection is not configured correctly. D: The trigger should be set to 'When an item is created or modified'. The best answer is A because triggerBody() is not a valid function in the trigger condition; you should use triggerOutputs(). I'll go with A.

Answer

The SharePoint connection is not configured correctly.

Answer

The trigger should be set to 'When an item is created or modified'.

Answer

The flow should use a Condition action instead of a trigger condition.

Question 6

The exhibit shows an action in a Power Automate flow. What does this action accomplish?

Accepted Answer

Post a message to the General channel in the Marketing team.. Option A is correct because the action posts a message to the 'General' channel of the 'Marketing' team, including dynamic content from the trigger. Option B is wrong because it is not a chat. Option C is wrong because it does not send an email. Option D is wrong because it does not create a channel.

Answer

Send an email notification.

Answer

Send a chat message to a user.

Answer

Create a new channel in the Marketing team.

Question 7

Which TWO are valid trigger types in Power Automate?

Accepted Answer

For a selected file. Options A and D are correct because they are standard trigger types. Option B is wrong because it's an action. Option C is wrong because it's not a trigger. Option E is wrong because it's an action.

Answer

Create a new row

Answer

Apply to each

Answer

Send an email

Question 8

Which TWO actions can be used to implement error handling in a Power Automate flow? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Configure Run After settings. Options B and C are correct. Configure Run After settings allow running subsequent actions on failure. Scope actions group actions and allow configuration of error handling at the scope level. Option A is wrong because 'Condition' is for branching, not error handling. Option D is wrong because 'Compose' is for data manipulation. Option E is wrong because 'Apply to each' is for loops.

Answer

Apply to each

Answer

Compose

Answer

Condition

Question 9

A company uses Power Automate to send push notifications to mobile devices via the Microsoft Power Platform notification action. The flow is triggered when a high-priority support ticket is created in Dynamics 365. Recently, some users reported not receiving notifications. The flow runs successfully without errors. What is the most likely cause of the issue?

Accepted Answer

Users do not have the Power Automate mobile app installed. Option D is correct because push notifications require the user to have the Power Automate mobile app installed and be signed in with the same account. Option A is incorrect because flow execution success means the trigger is working. Option B is incorrect because notification actions do not require premium licenses. Option C is incorrect because notification actions do not use API rate limits.

Answer

The flow requires a premium Power Automate license

Answer

The flow is exceeding API rate limits for notifications

Answer

The trigger is not correctly configured for high-priority tickets

Question 10

A Power Automate flow that sends approval requests is being used by multiple teams. The flow uses the 'Start and wait for an approval' action. The approver reports that they are not receiving the approval request email. What should you check first?

Accepted Answer

The Approvals connector is not properly configured. Option C is correct because the approval action requires the 'Approvals' connector to be properly configured. Option A is wrong because the flow owner's mailbox is not relevant to approval delivery. Option B is wrong because run history shows execution, not email delivery. Option D is wrong because the recipient's mailbox is not directly configurable in the action.

Answer

The flow owner's mailbox is full

Answer

The flow run history shows a success

Answer

The approver’s email address is incorrect in the flow

Question 11

A sales team uses a Power Automate flow that creates a contact in Dynamics 365 Sales whenever a new lead is added to a Salesforce system. The flow has been running successfully for months, but recently it started failing with an authentication error. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The Salesforce connection credentials have expired. The correct answer is B because the most common cause of authentication failures in flows is expired or revoked credentials for the connected services. Option A is incorrect because licensing changes typically affect flow execution limits, not authentication. Option C is incorrect because API call limits cause throttling errors, not authentication errors. Option D is incorrect because schema changes cause value mismatch errors, not authentication errors.

Answer

The flow has exceeded its daily execution quota

Answer

The lead entity schema in Salesforce has changed

Answer

The flow is hitting API rate limits

Question 12

A company uses Power Automate to automate invoice processing. When a new email with an Excel attachment arrives in a shared mailbox, the flow should parse the attachment and create a record in Dataverse. However, the flow fails intermittently. Upon review, the flow uses the 'When a new email arrives' trigger with the 'Include Attachments' option set to 'No'. What is the most likely cause of the failure?

Accepted Answer

The 'Include Attachments' option is set to 'No', so attachments are not processed.. Option B is correct because the flow fails to include attachments, so it cannot parse the Excel file. Option A is wrong because the trigger is correct for a shared mailbox. Option C is wrong because the issue is not related to premium connectors. Option D is wrong because license is not the issue.

Answer

The flow requires a premium connector, but only standard connectors are used.

Answer

The user's license does not include Power Automate capabilities.

Answer

The trigger is set to a shared mailbox, which is not supported.

Question 13

A business analyst wants to create a Power Automate flow that runs every Monday at 9 AM to generate a report. Which trigger should they use?

Accepted Answer

Recurrence. Option B is correct because 'Recurrence' trigger allows scheduling. Option A is wrong because it triggers on data changes. Option C is wrong because it is for manual triggers. Option D is wrong because it triggers on new emails.

Answer

Power Apps button

Answer

When a row is added, modified or deleted

Answer

When a new email arrives

Question 14

You need to design a Power Automate cloud flow that processes incoming emails and creates tasks in Microsoft To Do. The flow should only run for emails from specific senders. Which TWO actions should you use?

Accepted Answer

Condition. Options B and D are correct. A 'Condition' action filters by sender, and 'Create a task' action creates the task. Option A is wrong because 'Apply to each' is used for arrays. Option C is wrong because 'Send an email' is not needed. Option E is wrong because 'Compose' is for data manipulation.

Answer

Compose

Answer

Send an email

Answer

Apply to each

Question 15

Your company has a Power Automate flow that copies files from SharePoint to OneDrive for Business. Recently, some files have not been copied due to permission errors. You need to ensure the flow runs with the appropriate permissions. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Use a service principal with appropriate permissions and configure the flow to use it.. Option D is correct because using a service principal with appropriate permissions ensures consistent access. Option A is wrong because run-only users would inherit limited permissions. Option B is wrong because the owner's permissions may not match the flow's needs. Option C is wrong because turning off enhanced mode would limit capabilities.

Answer

Change the flow owner to a user with full permissions to both SharePoint and OneDrive.

Answer

Disable the 'Enhanced mode' in the SharePoint connector.

Answer

Configure the flow to run using the account of the user who triggers it.
