PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
Which TWO are best practices for designing Power Automate flows in a production environment? (Select TWO.)
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
✓
Use 'Configure Run After' to implement error handling.
Options B and E are correct. Using 'Configure Run After' allows you to specify actions to run based on the success, failure, or timeout of previous actions, which is essential for robust error handling in production flows. Option E, using secure inputs and outputs, prevents sensitive data from being displayed in flow run histories, protecting confidential information. Option A is incorrect because disabling logging would hinder troubleshooting and monitoring of production flows. Option C is incorrect because nesting 'Apply to each' actions can lead to performance degradation and throttling; instead, use parallel branches or optimized data processing. Option D is incorrect because hardcoding connection references reduces maintainability and security; use connection references stored in environments or Azure Key Vault for flexibility and security.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable flow logging to improve performance.
Why it's wrong here
Logging is important for monitoring and troubleshooting.
- ✓
Use 'Configure Run After' to implement error handling.
Why this is correct
This handles failures gracefully.
- ✗
Nest Apply to each actions to handle large datasets.
Why it's wrong here
Nesting can cause performance issues; use parallel or pagination.
- ✗
Hardcode connection references for simplicity.
Why it's wrong here
Hardcoding is not a best practice; use secure inputs.
- ✓
Use secure inputs and outputs for actions handling sensitive data.
Why this is correct
Protects sensitive data in logs.
