20+ practice questions focused on Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate — one of the most tested topics on the Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals PL-900 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate PracticeWhich THREE are valid options for handling errors in a Power Automate flow? (Choose three.)
Explanation: Configure run after (A) is correct because it allows an action to run based on the success, failure, or timeout of a previous action. Scope (B) is correct because it groups actions and can be used with 'Configure run after' to implement error handling patterns. Retry policy (D) is correct because it automatically retries an action upon failure, defining the number of retries and interval. Parallel branches (C) is not an error-handling feature; it runs actions concurrently. Try-catch-finally pattern using scopes (E) is a user-designed pattern, not a built-in error-handling option in Power Automate.
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?
Explanation: The correct approach is Option B: using a 'When an HTTP request is received' trigger and checking for a unique identifier. This allows the flow to track which events have already been processed by storing the unique ID (e.g., in a variable or a data source) and skipping alerts for duplicate IDs. Option A ('Get changes') is not relevant for deduplication and is not a built-in action for this scenario. Option C (increasing the threshold) reduces alerts but doesn't prevent duplicates from the same event. Option D (adding a delay) merely postpones alerts, still allowing duplicates after the delay. Therefore, only Option B provides a reliable deduplication mechanism.
Refer to the exhibit. A flow is triggered when an email with 'Invoice' in the subject arrives, and it saves the first attachment to a SharePoint document library. However, the flow fails with an error 'InvalidTemplate'. What is the most likely cause?
Explanation: The flow fails with 'InvalidTemplate' because the trigger is set to include attachments, but if an email with 'Invoice' in the subject arrives without an attachment, the expression that accesses the first attachment (e.g., triggerOutputs()?['attachments']?[0]) fails since the attachments array is empty. This is the most likely cause. Option A is incorrect because an invalid SharePoint folder path would produce a different error. Option B is incorrect because the trigger already includes attachments. Option D is incorrect because using the email subject for the file name would not cause an 'InvalidTemplate' error.
A company wants to automate the process of archiving completed sales orders from a SQL Server database to a SharePoint list every night. Which approach should they use?
Explanation: It uses a Recurrence trigger to run the flow on a schedule (every night) to query SQL Server for completed sales orders and archive them to SharePoint. Option A uses an event-driven trigger (when an item is created) which is not suitable for a nightly batch process. Option B is an instant flow triggered manually by a button, not automated. Option C requires an external scheduler to send an HTTP request, but Power Automate's built-in Recurrence trigger is simpler and more appropriate.
You need to design a flow that runs when a new response is submitted in Microsoft Forms. The flow should send an email to the respondent with a summary of their answers. Which trigger should you use?
Explanation: The correct trigger is 'When a new response is submitted' because the flow needs to run immediately after a new response is submitted. Option B, 'When a response is viewed', triggers when someone views the response. Option C, 'When a response is edited', triggers when the response is edited. Option D, 'When a response is modified', triggers when the response is modified (which includes edits or other changes). Only the 'When a new response is submitted' trigger fires on initial submission, which is required to send the summary email to the respondent.
