A Power Automate cloud flow needs to update a Dataverse record's 'Status' field to 'Completed' only if the current status is 'In Progress'. If the status is already 'Completed', the flow should not make any changes. You need to implement this logic efficiently. What should you do?

Use a 'Parse JSON' action to extract the status and then always update the record.

Use the 'Update a row' action with a filter query that matches the current status 'In Progress'.

Use a Condition action to check if the current status is 'In Progress', and only then run the 'Update a row' action.

Use a 'Do until' loop to check the status and update the record until it becomes 'Completed'.

A Power Automate cloud flow processes sensitive employee data from a Dataverse table and sends an email with a summary. You need to ensure that the sensitive data is not visible in the flow's run history. What should you configure?

Enable 'Secure inputs' and 'Secure outputs' on the actions that handle the sensitive data.

Use a 'Compose' action to store the sensitive data in a variable and then reference the variable in the email.

Delete the flow's run history after each run using a cleanup action.

Configure the email action to use a 'Send an email (V2)' action with the 'Include attachments' option disabled.

When creating a cloud flow, where do you configure an input parameter as sensitive?

In the flow's 'Settings' tab under 'Inputs'

In the action's dynamic content panel

In the 'Run only users' settings

In Power Automate, what is the purpose of marking an input parameter as 'Sensitive'?

To hide the input value from the flow run history

To restrict which users can edit the flow

To prevent the input from being used in expressions

To encrypt the input value at rest in the database
