Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect — Question 1
A company uses two separate unlinked apps to manage sales leads; a Power Apps app and a third-party application.
The client has the following requirements:
✑ Manage all leads by using the Power Apps app.
✑ Create a lead in the Power Apps app when a user creates a lead in the third-party application.
✑ Update leads in the Power Apps app when a user updates a lead in the third-party application.
✑ Connect to the third-party application by using an API.
You need to recommend strategies to integrate the Power Apps app and the third-party application.
Which three options can you use to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer options
- A. Dual-write
- B. Custom connector
- C. Dataflow
- D. Power Automate cloud flow
- E. Dataverse connector
Correct answer: B, D, E
Explanation
The correct answers are B, D, and E because a Custom connector allows the Power Apps app to connect to the third-party application’s API, Power Automate cloud flow can automate the lead creation and updates between the two apps, and the Dataverse connector enables data integration and management within the Power Apps environment. Dual-write is not applicable as it is designed for connected systems rather than unlinked applications, and Dataflow is more suited for data transformation tasks rather than direct application integration.
