PL-900 Practice Question: Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform
Exhibit
{
"flows": [
{
"name": "Flow1",
"triggers": ["When an item is created"],
"actions": ["Send an email", "Update item"]
},
{
"name": "Flow2",
"triggers": ["When an email arrives"],
"actions": ["Create item", "Send approval"]
}
]
}Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate environment has two flows. Flow1 triggers on item creation and sends an email then updates the item. Flow2 triggers on email arrival, creates an item, and sends an approval. If an email arrives that triggers Flow2, and Flow2's first action creates an item, will Flow1 also trigger?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume flows run in isolation or that triggers are disabled during execution, but Power Automate processes events asynchronously and independently, allowing multiple flows to trigger from the same event.
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
✓
Yes, because the item creation will trigger Flow1.
Flow1 triggers on item creation, so when Flow2's first action creates an item, that creation event fires the trigger for Flow1. Power Automate allows multiple flows to respond to the same event independently, so Flow1 will execute as a separate instance. This is why option C is correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
No, because Flow2 runs in a separate context.
Why it's wrong here
Flows are independent; triggers fire regardless of context.
- ✗
Yes, but only if both flows are in the same solution.
Why it's wrong here
Solutions don't affect trigger behavior.
- ✓
Yes, because the item creation will trigger Flow1.
Why this is correct
Flow2's create item action causes an item creation event that Flow1 is listening for.
- ✗
No, because triggers are disabled during flow runs.
Why it's wrong here
Triggers are not disabled during runs by default.
