PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Power Automate that help with monitoring and troubleshooting flows?
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
✓
Analytics in the Power Platform admin center
The correct answers are C and D. Run history provides detailed information about each flow execution, including inputs, outputs, and errors, allowing users to troubleshoot issues. Analytics in the Power Platform admin center offer insights into flow usage, performance, and error trends. Option A is incorrect because the 'When a flow is completed' trigger is used to start another flow upon completion, not for monitoring or troubleshooting. Option B is incorrect because automatic email notifications on failure are not a built-in monitoring capability; they can be configured as part of a flow, but they are not a platform-level monitoring feature. Option E is incorrect because the 'Configure run after' setting controls what happens after a previous action fails, skips, or succeeds; it is a configuration for flow logic, not a monitoring/troubleshooting capability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'When a flow is completed' trigger
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The 'When a flow is completed' trigger is not a monitoring capability; it is used to start another flow when a selected flow finishes, which is an automation trigger, not a monitoring or troubleshooting tool.
- ✗
Automatic email notifications when a flow fails
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. While you can configure notifications in a flow, automatic email notifications when a flow fails are not a built-in monitoring feature of Power Automate; they would require additional configuration and are not considered a core monitoring capability.
- ✓
Analytics in the Power Platform admin center
Why this is correct
Correct. Analytics in the Power Platform admin center provide dashboards and reports on flow usage, performance, and errors, enabling monitoring and troubleshooting at an administrative level.
- ✓
Run history for each flow execution
Why this is correct
Correct. Run history for each flow execution captures detailed logs of each run, including inputs, outputs, and error messages, making it a key troubleshooting tool for flow developers.
- ✗
The 'Configure run after' setting
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The 'Configure run after' setting allows you to define the behavior of subsequent actions based on the outcome of a previous action (e.g., run after failure, success, timeout). It is a flow logic configuration, not a monitoring or troubleshooting capability.
