AI-102 Implement an agentic solution Practice Question
You have created a Copilot Studio agent that uses a Power Automate flow to send an email when a user requests a password reset. The flow works correctly in test mode, but when the agent is published, the flow does not run. What should you check first?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to assume the flow's trigger condition or 'turned on' status is the issue, overlooking the critical identity and permission handoff between the agent and the flow in published mode.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Check if the flow is shared with the Copilot Studio agent.
When a Copilot Studio agent uses a Power Automate flow, the flow must be explicitly shared with the agent (the agent's application registration) so that the agent can trigger the flow on behalf of the user. In test mode, the flow runs under the creator's identity, but in published mode, the agent runs under its own identity, which requires the flow to be shared with the agent's service principal. Option A is correct because this is the most common cause of a flow working in test but failing after publication.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Check if the flow is shared with the Copilot Studio agent.
Why this is correct
Flows used in Copilot Studio must be shared with the agent's owner or the bot application.
- ✗
Check if the user has permission to run the flow.
Why it's wrong here
Test mode uses the creator's permissions, which may differ from published mode.
- ✗
Check if the trigger condition is correct.
Why it's wrong here
The trigger works in test, so it is likely correct.
- ✗
Check if the flow is turned on.
Why it's wrong here
If the flow were off, test would also fail.
