A company has a Power Automate flow that calls an Azure Function to generate a PDF report. The report generation takes about 8 minutes. The flow currently waits for the function to return the PDF. Users report that the flow times out. What should you do to resolve the issue?

Use a timer-triggered function instead of an HTTP-triggered function and have the flow wait for the next scheduled run.

Increase the function's timeout setting to 10 minutes and keep the synchronous call.

Change the function to an asynchronous pattern: the function starts the job, returns a status URL, and the flow polls the URL until the PDF is ready.

Move the function to a Premium plan and increase the function timeout to 10 minutes.

A company has an existing Azure Function that processes orders and writes to Dataverse. They want to call this function from a Power Automate flow when a new order is created in a third-party system. The flow uses the 'When an HTTP request is received' trigger. What is the best way to integrate the function?

Use a blob-triggered function and have the flow upload a file to Blob Storage.

Use a queue-triggered function and have the flow send a message to the queue.

Change the function to a timer trigger and have the flow wait for the next scheduled run.

Add an HTTP trigger to the function and call it from the flow using the 'Send an HTTP request' action.

Which Azure AD feature allows an Azure Function to authenticate to Power Platform without requiring a client secret or certificate?

Service principal with a password

What is the primary purpose of a timer trigger in an Azure Function used within a Power Platform solution?
