PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
Your organization uses Power Automate to automatically create a task in Microsoft Planner when a new sales opportunity is closed in Dynamics 365. The flow triggers on a new opportunity but fails to create the task. You check the run history and see an error: 'Invalid template specification' in the 'Create a task' action. How should you resolve this?

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
✓
Ensure the Planner bucket and plan are specified correctly in the action.
The error 'Invalid template specification' in the 'Create a task' action typically occurs when the Planner action is not properly configured, specifically the bucket and plan fields are missing or incorrect. Therefore, ensuring that the Planner bucket and plan are specified correctly (Option B) resolves the issue. Option A is incorrect because the error is not related to the Dynamics 365 connection. Option C is incorrect because changing the trigger does not address the template specification error. Option D is incorrect because the error is about task configuration, not permissions.
