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

  1. A developer needs to send an adaptive card to a Teams channel and wait for a user response before continuing the flow. Which Power Automate action accomplishes this?

    Answer: Post an Adaptive Card and wait for a response

    'Post an Adaptive Card and wait for a response' pauses flow execution until the recipient responds to the card.

  2. In a cloud flow, a developer uses the 'Run After' setting on an action. Which configuration ensures the action runs only when the previous action both succeeds AND is skipped?

    Answer: Check both 'is successful' and 'is skipped'

    Checking both 'is successful' and 'is skipped' ensures the action runs under either outcome from the previous step.

  3. A Power Automate desktop flow needs to read all rows from an Excel file without using Excel as a UI automation target. Which action module should be used?

    Answer: Excel > Read from Excel worksheet

    The Excel module in desktop flows provides direct worksheet actions without requiring UI automation of the Excel application.

  4. When configuring a Business Process Flow in Power Platform, which entity type must be associated with the BPF to allow it to appear in model-driven apps?

    Answer: Any Dataverse table enabled for business process flows

    Business Process Flows require a Dataverse table that has been explicitly enabled for business process flows in its settings.

  5. A developer needs to extract a substring from the 5th character onward from a string variable named 'orderCode'. Which expression is correct?

    Answer: substring(variables('orderCode'), 4)

    The `substring()` function uses zero-based indexing, so position 4 is the 5th character.

  6. A flow must process messages from an Azure Service Bus queue exactly once, even if the trigger fires multiple times for the same message. Which peek-lock approach achieves this?

    Answer: Use 'Get messages from a queue (peek-lock)' and complete the message after processing

    Peek-lock mode locks the message, and explicitly completing it after processing ensures at-least-once delivery with controlled acknowledgment.

  7. Which Power Automate feature allows a developer to group a set of actions so that error handling can be applied uniformly to the entire group?

    Answer: Scope

    A Scope action groups related actions together, and 'Run After' can be configured on the Scope to handle errors from all contained actions.
