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
✓
Recurrence
The 'Recurrence' trigger allows you to schedule flows to run at specific intervals, such as every Monday at 9 AM. Option A is incorrect because a Power Apps button trigger requires a manual action from a user in a Power App, not automation. Option B is incorrect because 'When a row is added, modified or deleted' triggers on data changes in a data source, not on a schedule. Option C is incorrect because 'When a new email arrives' triggers on incoming emails, not a time-based schedule.
