PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
Your organization uses Power Automate to send a welcome email to new employees. The flow is triggered when a new row is added to a Dataverse table named 'NewEmployees'. The flow retrieves the manager's email from a related table and sends an email via Outlook. Managers are reporting that they receive the welcome email but it contains placeholder text instead of the employee's name. The flow runs successfully. What is the most likely cause?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The dynamic content token for the employee name is not correctly inserted in the email body
If the email body uses a dynamic content token that is not mapped correctly, the flow will output the token name as placeholder text. Option A is wrong because the trigger is working (flow runs). Option B is wrong because the email is sent successfully. Option D is wrong because there is no mention of permissions.
