You need to design a Power Automate cloud flow that processes incoming emails and creates tasks in Microsoft To Do. The flow should only run for emails from specific senders. Which TWO actions should you use?
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
✓
Condition
Options B and E are correct. A 'Condition' action filters by sender, and 'Create a task' action creates the task in Microsoft To Do. Option A is wrong because 'Compose' is used for data manipulation, not for filtering or task creation. Option C is wrong because 'Send an email' is not needed. Option D is wrong because 'Apply to each' is used for arrays, not for filtering by sender.
