PL-900 Practice Question: A company uses Microsoft Power Platform to…
A company uses Microsoft Power Platform to automate business processes. They want to extend their solution by integrating with other Microsoft services. Which TWO services can be used together with Power Automate to trigger flows based on events from external systems?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Azure Logic Apps as a standalone alternative to Power Automate rather than recognizing it as a complementary service that provides advanced event triggers, or they may incorrectly assume Azure SQL Database can natively trigger flows without an intermediary event service.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure Logic Apps
Azure Logic Apps is a cloud service that provides pre-built connectors and enterprise integration capabilities, allowing Power Automate to trigger flows based on events from external systems via HTTP requests, webhooks, or service bus messages. Azure Event Grid is a fully managed event routing service that uses a publish-subscribe model, enabling Power Automate to react to events from Azure services or custom sources in near real-time. Both services extend Power Automate's event-driven triggers beyond its native connectors.
