PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
You need to create a flow that sends an email notification when a new file is added to a OneDrive for Business folder. Which trigger should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the 'OneDrive' and 'OneDrive for Business' connectors, assuming they are interchangeable, but they target different services with different authentication and API scopes.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
When a file is created (OneDrive for Business)
The requirement specifies a OneDrive for Business folder, and the 'When a file is created (OneDrive for Business)' trigger is the only one that directly monitors a OneDrive for Business location for new file additions. This trigger uses the OneDrive for Business connector, which is designed to work with the Microsoft Graph API for OneDrive for Business, and it fires specifically when a new file is created, not modified.
