Read the first 7 Automate Business Processes with Power Automate flashcards as text

  1. A developer needs to call a custom connector from a cloud flow and pass a dynamic array of items. Which action type should they use to iterate over the array before calling the connector?

    Answer: Apply to Each

    'Apply to Each' iterates over an array collection, executing the connector call for each item.

  2. When building a custom connector in Power Automate, which authentication type should be used when the API requires an OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant flow?

    Answer: OAuth 2.0

    OAuth 2.0 is the authentication type that supports the authorization code grant flow for delegated permissions.

  3. A flow triggers when a SharePoint list item is created. The developer wants the flow to run only if the item's 'Status' field equals 'Approved'. What is the most efficient approach?

    Answer: Use a Filter Query on the trigger

    Using a Filter Query on the trigger prevents unnecessary flow runs by filtering at the data source level.

  4. In Power Automate, what function retrieves the output of a previous action named 'Get Items' when the action is not directly connected in sequence?

    Answer: actions('Get_Items').outputs

    The expression `actions('Get_Items').outputs` references the full output of a named action anywhere in the flow.

  5. A cloud flow using a premium connector fails intermittently due to API throttling. Which built-in feature should the developer configure to handle transient failures?

    Answer: Retry Policy

    The Retry Policy on an action automatically retries failed calls based on a configured count and interval.

  6. A developer wants a child flow to accept an input parameter and return a result to the parent flow. Which trigger should the child flow use?

    Answer: When a flow is run from another flow (Respond to a PowerApp or flow)

    'Respond to a PowerApp or flow' trigger allows child flows to receive inputs and return outputs to the parent flow.

  7. Which expression returns the current UTC date and time as a string in ISO 8601 format inside a Power Automate flow?

    Answer: utcNow()

    The `utcNow()` function returns the current UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 format.
