PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate Practice Test 6 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. A developer created an approval flow using Power Automate. The flow is triggered manually but the approval email never sends. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The flow does not include an approval action; it only sends an email.. Option B is correct because the Send_approval_email action uses a manual trigger but there is no approval connector action to wait for response. Option A is not an issue; the connection is defined. Option C is not true; the manual trigger does not require a schema. Option D is not the cause; the body is provided.

Answer

The Office 365 Outlook connection is not configured.

Answer

The trigger schema is empty, causing the flow to fail.

Answer

The email body is missing the approval response options.

Question 2

A Power Automate flow uses an approval action. The approver can choose 'Approve', 'Reject', or 'Reassign'. The flow needs to send a different email based on the approver's choice. Which action should be used after the approval?

Accepted Answer

Condition. The Condition action in Power Automate evaluates the output of the approval action (e.g., the 'outcome' field) and routes the flow down different branches based on whether the approver selected 'Approve', 'Reject', or 'Reassign'. This is the correct choice because it directly maps the three possible approval outcomes to distinct email actions using conditional logic.

Answer

Apply to each

Answer

Parallel branch

Answer

Do until

Question 3

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 4

Which TWO actions can be used to add conditional logic in a Power Automate flow?

Accepted Answer

Switch. A is correct because the Switch action in Power Automate evaluates a single value (e.g., a variable or output from a previous step) against multiple possible cases, executing different sets of actions based on which case matches. This is a direct form of conditional logic, similar to a switch/case statement in programming, allowing branching without nested conditions.

Answer

Do until

Answer

Parallel branch

Answer

Apply to each

Question 5

Which THREE components are part of a Power Automate cloud flow?

Accepted Answer

Action. Option A (Trigger), Option C (Action), and Option D (Connector) are core components. Option B is a type of flow, not a component. Option E is a service, not a component.

Answer

Business process flow

Answer

Power Apps

Question 6

Which TWO are valid trigger types in Power Automate?

Accepted Answer

Instant. Option A (Automated) and Option D (Instant) are valid trigger types. Option B is a type of flow, not a trigger. Option C is not a trigger type. Option E is a UI element.

Answer

Button

Answer

Flow button

Answer

Scheduled

Question 7

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 8

You need to create a flow that sends a push notification to a user's mobile device when a high-priority email arrives in their inbox. Which trigger and action combination should you use?

Accepted Answer

When a new email arrives trigger and Send push notification action. Option D is correct because the 'When a new email arrives' trigger with 'Send push notification' action meets the requirement. Option A uses a schedule, not event-driven. Option B uses SharePoint trigger. Option C uses approval, not notification.

Answer

When an item is created trigger and Post message action

Answer

When an approval request is triggered and Send email action

Answer

Recurrence trigger and Send email action

Question 9

A Power Automate flow uses the 'Apply to each' action to process items from a SharePoint list. The flow is running slowly. What is the most effective way to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Enable concurrency control on the 'Apply to each' action.. Option B is correct because concurrency control allows parallel processing. Option A reduces scope but not necessarily performance. Option C is not a built-in feature. Option D is for approval, not performance.

Answer

Add a 'Condition' action inside the loop.

Answer

Use a 'Do until' loop instead.

Answer

Reduce the number of items in the list.

Question 10

A company has a Power Automate flow that uses a premium connector (e.g., SQL Server). Several users report that the flow fails with a '401 Unauthorized' error. The flow uses a service principal for authentication. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The service principal's certificate has expired.. Option B is correct because service principal certificates have expiration dates. Option A is not specific. Option C is for API connections, not service principals. Option D is unrelated.

Answer

The SQL Server connection string is incorrect.

Answer

The flow is not in the default environment.

Answer

The flow is exceeding API rate limits.

Question 11

You want to automate a business process that requires human interaction for approval. Which type of Power Automate flow should you use?

Accepted Answer

Cloud flow with approval action. Option A is correct because approval flows are designed for manual approval steps. Option B is for background automation. Option C is for process adherence. Option D is for UI automation.

Answer

Automated cloud flow

Answer

Business process flow

Answer

Desktop flow

Question 12

A Power Automate flow is triggered when a new file is added to a SharePoint document library. The flow should then copy the file to a different library. However, the flow fails when the file name contains a colon (:). What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The colon character is not allowed in SharePoint file names.. Option C is correct because Windows file systems and SharePoint do not allow colons in file names. Option A is not directly the issue. Option B is not typical. Option D is not a common issue.

Answer

The destination library is full.

Answer

The flow is using the wrong connector.

Answer

The flow does not have permissions to read the source library.

Question 13

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 14

You need to design a Power Automate flow that sends an approval request to a manager when an employee submits a leave request in SharePoint. The flow should check if the manager is on leave and, if so, escalate to the next-level manager. What is the best approach to implement this escalation logic?

Accepted Answer

Use a 'Condition' action to check if the manager is on leave, then if true, send the request to the next-level manager.. Option A is correct because a 'Condition' action allows checking manager status and escalating. Option B is wrong because parallel branches do not handle sequential escalation. Option C is wrong because 'Apply to each' is for iterating over a list, not checking a single manager. Option D is wrong because 'Scope' is for grouping actions, not conditional logic.

Answer

Use an 'Apply to each' action to iterate over an array of managers.

Answer

Use a 'Scope' action to group the escalation steps.

Answer

Use parallel branches to send the request to both the manager and next-level manager simultaneously.

Question 15

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

Accepted Answer

When a user is added to Azure AD. Option B is correct because 'When a user is added to Azure AD' (now Microsoft Entra ID) triggers on new user creation. Option A is wrong because it triggers on email, not user creation. Option C is wrong because it triggers on file creation. Option D is wrong because it triggers on record creation in Dataverse.

Answer

When a new email arrives

Answer

When a row is added, modified or deleted in Dataverse

Answer

When a file is created in SharePoint
