PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Microsoft Copilot Studio
A company wants to extend their existing copilot built with Copilot Studio to trigger a workflow when an employee requests time off. The workflow must create a record in a Dataverse table and send an approval email. What should the copilot developer use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse using a Dataverse connector directly (Option C) with the correct method of invoking it through a Power Automate flow plugin, as the connector alone cannot be triggered by a copilot topic without an intermediary flow.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add a Power Automate flow as a plugin
Copilot Studio allows extending a copilot's capabilities by adding a Power Automate flow as a plugin. This enables the copilot to trigger a workflow that creates a record in a Dataverse table and sends an approval email, directly fulfilling the requirement without needing to embed an app or use AI Builder.
