   A Power Automate cloud flow is triggered when a row is deleted from a Dataverse table. The flow needs to archive the deleted row's data to an external system. However, the flow should only run when the deleted row's 'Category' field is 'Client'. You need to configure the trigger to minimize unnecessary runs. What should you do?

   • AUse the 'When a row is added, modified or deleted' trigger and select 'Deleted' as the operation type.
   • BAdd a trigger condition that checks if the 'Category' field equals 'Client'.
   • CAdd a Condition action as the first step to check the 'Category' field and exit the flow if not 'Client'.
   • DUse a 'Filter array' action on the trigger outputs to select only rows with Category 'Client'.

   A company uses a Power Automate cloud flow to synchronize new account records from a legacy CRM into Dataverse. The flow triggers when a new account is created in the legacy system. The legacy system sends a JSON payload with a field named 'statusCode' that can be 'A', 'I', or 'P'. Only accounts with statusCode 'A' should be created in Dataverse. You need to configure the flow to check the status and create the record only if it is active. What should you do?

   • AAdd a Filter array action to filter the trigger output by statusCode equal to 'A', then create the record for each filtered item.
   • BAdd a Condition action that compares the trigger output statusCode to 'A', and place the 'Create a new row' action in the 'If yes' branch.
   • CAdd a 'Do until' loop that checks the statusCode and exits when it equals 'A', then creates the record.
   • DUse a 'Create a new row' action and set the statusCode field to 'A' in the Dataverse record.

   A Power Automate cloud flow needs to authenticate to a third-party API using a client secret. The secret is stored in Azure Key Vault. The flow uses a managed identity for authentication to Key Vault. You need to ensure the secret is retrieved securely and used in the HTTP request without exposing it in flow run history. What should you do?

   • AStore the client secret as a plain text value in a flow variable and use it in the HTTP action.
   • BUse the 'Get secret' action from the Azure Key Vault connector, then reference the secret value in the HTTP action's Authentication field with the 'Secure inputs and outputs' setting enabled.
   • CUse the 'HTTP with Azure AD' action and select the managed identity as the authentication type, passing the secret as a parameter.
   • DHard-code the client secret in the HTTP action's header and mark the action as 'Secure inputs'.

   You have a child flow that performs a complex calculation and returns a value. The child flow can sometimes fail due to a transient error. You need to call this child flow from a parent flow and ensure that if the child flow fails, the parent flow retries the child flow up to three times before failing. What should you do?

   • AConfigure the child flow's trigger to have a retry policy.
   • BAdd a 'Do until' loop around the 'Run a child flow' action to retry it up to three times.
   • CConfigure the 'Run a child flow' action's retry policy to 'Fixed interval' with count 3 and interval 10 seconds.
   • DUse a 'Scope' action to wrap the 'Run a child flow' action and configure the scope's retry policy.
