PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
A Power Automate flow uses an approval action. The approver can choose 'Approve', 'Reject', or 'Reassign'. The flow needs to send a different email based on the approver's choice. Which action should be used after the approval?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse iterative or parallel constructs (Apply to each, Parallel branch) with conditional branching, failing to recognize that only Condition (or Switch) can evaluate the discrete outcome of an approval action to send different emails.

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
✓
Condition
The Condition action in Power Automate evaluates the output of the approval action (e.g., the 'outcome' field) and routes the flow down different branches based on whether the approver selected 'Approve', 'Reject', or 'Reassign'. This is the correct choice because it directly maps the three possible approval outcomes to distinct email actions using conditional logic.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Apply to each
Why it's wrong here
Apply to each is for iterating over arrays.
- ✗
Parallel branch
Why it's wrong here
Parallel branches run simultaneously, not conditionally.
- ✗
Do until
Why it's wrong here
Do until loops until a condition is met, not ideal for this.
- ✓
Condition
Why this is correct
Condition action evaluates the approval outcome.
