PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
You are designing a Power Automate flow that processes orders. The flow must wait for a manager's approval if the order amount exceeds $10,000. If the approval is rejected, the flow should notify the salesperson and stop processing. Which actions should be used?
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 'Start and wait for an approval' and then a 'Condition' action
'Start and wait for an approval' pauses the flow until a decision is made, and a 'Condition' action can check the outcome (e.g., 'Approve' or 'Reject') to notify the salesperson or stop processing. Option A is wrong because 'Scope' is used to group actions and does not provide approval functionality. Option B is wrong because 'Start an approval' does not wait, so the flow continues immediately without waiting for a response. Option D is wrong because 'Terminate' ends the flow but cannot check the approval outcome and handle the rejected scenario appropriately.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use 'Scope' to group approval actions
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. 'Scope' groups actions but does not provide approval functionality. It cannot wait for approval or check outcomes.
- ✗
Use 'Start an approval' and then a 'Condition' action
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. 'Start an approval' triggers an approval request but does not pause the flow, so it cannot wait for a decision before proceeding.
- ✓
Use 'Start and wait for an approval' and then a 'Condition' action
Why this is correct
Correct. 'Start and wait for an approval' pauses the flow until a decision is made, and a 'Condition' action can then evaluate the outcome (e.g., approved/rejected) to take appropriate actions.
- ✗
Use 'Start and wait for an approval' and then a 'Terminate' action
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. 'Terminate' ends the flow immediately without checking the approval outcome. It cannot handle the rejected scenario by notifying the salesperson and stopping processing conditionally.
