Microsoft Certified: Power Platform App Maker Associate Power Automate for App Makers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Power Automate, which action type allows makers to return data from a cloud flow back to the calling Canvas app?
- Respond to a Power Apps or flow action (Correct answer)
- Return variable action
- Send data action
- Output to canvas action
Correct answer: Respond to a Power Apps or flow action
The 'Respond to a Power Apps or flow' action sends output parameters back to the Canvas app that triggered the flow.
Question 2: What does the 'Condition' control in Power Automate enable?
- Branch the flow into two paths based on a true/false evaluation (Correct answer)
- Filter an array of items
- Loop until a condition is met
- Schedule a delay
Correct answer: Branch the flow into two paths based on a true/false evaluation
The Condition control evaluates an expression and routes the flow to a 'Yes' or 'No' branch accordingly.
Question 3: Which Power Automate feature allows a maker to package multiple actions as a reusable named unit that can be called from other flows?
- Child flow (Correct answer)
- Action group
- Shared action
- Flow template
Correct answer: Child flow
Child flows are separate cloud flows invoked by parent flows using the 'Run a Child Flow' action, enabling reuse of common logic.
Question 4: In Power Automate, what is the purpose of a 'Do Until' loop?
- Repeat actions until a specified condition becomes true (Correct answer)
- Run actions a fixed number of times
- Loop through each item in a list
- Retry failed actions automatically
Correct answer: Repeat actions until a specified condition becomes true
'Do Until' continuously executes enclosed actions until the exit condition evaluates to true.
Question 5: Which Power Automate trigger fires when a row in a Dataverse table is created, updated, or deleted?
- When a row is added, modified or deleted (Dataverse trigger) (Correct answer)
- Record changed trigger
- Table event trigger
- Dataverse webhook
Correct answer: When a row is added, modified or deleted (Dataverse trigger)
The Dataverse connector's 'When a row is added, modified or deleted' trigger starts the flow on any DML event on the specified table.
Question 6: What does 'Run after' configuration on a Power Automate action allow makers to do?
- Control which completion statuses of the previous action (succeeded, failed, skipped, timed out) trigger the next action (Correct answer)
- Add a delay after the previous action completes
- Set a priority for the action execution order
- Schedule the action for a later time
Correct answer: Control which completion statuses of the previous action (succeeded, failed, skipped, timed out) trigger the next action
'Run after' lets makers define alternate execution paths based on whether prior actions succeeded, failed, timed out, or were skipped.
