PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
A flow uses a 'When an item is created' trigger for a SharePoint list. The flow needs to access the item's title and the user who created it. Which dynamic values should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse 'Created By' with 'Modified By' or assume that 'Created By Email' is a direct dynamic value, when in fact the trigger exposes 'Created By' as a user object and 'Modified By' is a separate field for the last modifier.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Title and Created By
The 'When an item is created' trigger for a SharePoint list exposes dynamic values that include the item's 'Title' field and the 'Created By' field, which contains the user who created the item. These are standard columns in a SharePoint list and are automatically available as dynamic content in Power Automate when the trigger fires.
