Microsoft Power Platform App Maker — Question 89

A company uses a custom application to store customer data. The application has a well-documented REST API available.

When an email from a customer arrives in a shared inbox, the application must create a record.

You must automate the process of writing customers’ data to the application prior to account manager approval.

You need to create a Microsoft Power Automate cloud flow that can write data to the application.

What should you create?

Answer options

• A. Cloud flow that uses a Response action
• B. Cloud flow that creates a record in Microsoft Dataverse
• C. Desktop flow that writes data directly to the application
• D. Cloud flow that includes a custom connector for the application’s REST API

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a custom connector is necessary to interface with the application's REST API, allowing for seamless data writing. Option A is incorrect as a Response action does not pertain to creating records. Option B is not suitable since Microsoft Dataverse is not the target application for storing customer data. Option C is also wrong as desktop flows are not designed for cloud-based integrations with REST APIs.
