Get Started with Power Automate

To secure and administer Power Automate you can use what resources?

• Download the Power Automate administrator application.

• Power Automate is only administered via the web portal.

• Power Automate can be administered on the web, via PowerShell, or even by building flows.

Where do you find flow templates?

• Directly from the Power Automate builder website.

• You have to build and save templates yourself; there are no pre-built templates.

• You need to download the template pack from the Microsoft Learn website.

How can data sources be used with Power Automate?

• Power Automate can only connect to Microsoft data sources such as Office 365 and Azure.

• Power Automate requires you to build custom connectors to access external data.

• Power Automate can connect to data sources using one of the 260 plus prebuilt connectors or by building your own custom connector.

One of your colleagues would like to set up a Flow to write an item to a SharePoint list when they receive an email from their boss. Which of the following would get them started?

• Create an "Instant" Flow and set the trigger to be "When an email is received", then add an action for

  creating the SharePoint item.

• Create an "Automated" Flow with only one action: create an item in SharePoint.

• See if any templates are available for this scenario. If one exists, use that, otherwise create a blankFlow with a "When an email is received" trigger.

Your department would like to set up an approval system for items that are being written to a SharePoint list. You have been assigned the task of creating the system. Using Flow, what's the best approach?

• Create an Automated Flow from Blank and add a trigger for "When a new item is created" in Share-Point, and actions for the approvals.

• Set up a blank Flow to send approval emails to the department manager when a new item is created in the SharePoint List.

• Generate an Approval Flow from the built-in SharePoint Approvals functionality on your SharePoint list.

Your organization has started using lots of Approval Flows, and users are complaining that they have too many approvals to keep track of. They don’t know what is approved and what is still pending their approval. What is the easiest way for them to check?

• Have the users navigate to the Approval Center in Power Automate.

• Have the users set up Outlook rules to catch approvals so they are more visible.

• Send the users to the SharePoint list, which holds the records being approved to review which ones

  are approved and which ones are not.

One of your colleagues would like to post information about SharePoint items that have been approved to Twitter. Is this possible? If so, how would he do it?

• No, it's not possible. SharePoint lists don't connect to Twitter directly, so there's no way to Tweet about approved items.

• Yes, it's possible. He can create a Flow to monitor his SharePoint list for approved items, then notify him so he can Tweet the details manually.

• Yes, it's possible. He can create a Flow to monitor his SharePoint list for approved items, then Tweet

  the details.
