Exam PL-100 topic 3 question 7 discussion

If we need to trigger the flow from the Canvas App, shouldn't we use a Power Apps Trigger?

Flow Button for Mobile - No. Why make the user open up another app (Flow) when they are already in their Canvas App? Office 365 Outlook - No. This may be used BY the flow to notify Sales, but should not be used as a trigger for the flow. Common Data Service - No. Cannot assume that the Canvas app uses CDS/Dataverse as its data store. What if it uses Azure SQL or another data source? Power Apps - Yes. The user is already using a Power Apps Canvas App. Canvas apps can trigger Flows. This is the best place to trigger the Flow because the user is already there.

Since the flow is called from power apps, the trigger is power apps trigger

Somehow similar to one previous question "You have been tasked with creating a canvas app that allows computer technicians to update job cards after client site visits. The app should also allow for the technicians to notify the sales executives instantaneously when clients order service contracts. As soon as the notification is sent, the technician has to be able to enter the service contract specifics. You create a button flow with user input that includes the Flow button for mobile trigger. Does the action achieve your objective? A. Yes, it does B. No, it does not If this A, I go with A) Flow button for mobile as it allows me to initiate a flow from a mobile app

The correct answer is B. Power Apps. To create a flow that can be triggered by a canvas app, you need to use the Power Apps trigger in Power Automate. This trigger allows you to pass parameters from the app to the flow, such as the customer’s name, email, and warranty details. You can then use other actions in the flow to send an email, a Teams message, or an adaptive card to the sales team with the relevant information. The Power Apps trigger also returns a response to the app, such as a confirmation message or an error message.

B. Power Apps To create a flow that alerts the sales team when a technician records a warranty sale using the canvas app, you should use the Power Apps trigger. This trigger allows you to call the flow directly from your Power Apps canvas app. When the technician records the warranty details in the app, you can add a button or an action that invokes the flow with the Power Apps trigger. The flow can then send an alert to the sales team through various means, such as sending an email or posting a message in Microsoft Teams.

1. Create an instant flow with manually trigger mobile button. 2. Add a button on a mobile device to trigger the flow instantly

Power Apps trigger!

I would also say Power Automate. Why the user should open another App to trigger the Flow? He can trigger the Flow directly from the Canvas App, vie Power Automate.

He is already in the canvas app

Note the question ---> Technicians use the canvas app to immediately alert the sales team, and then the technician records details about the warranty into the app. That means an alert button make sense. An alert is made and then only the warranty data is input. Answer is Flow Button for Mobile.

Most specific fit appears to be Answer A - Flow button for mobile. This seems most consistent with alerting the sales team before the warranty details are recorded in the app. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/button-flow-with-user-input-tokens

The question seemhttps://www.examtopics.com/exams/microsoft/pl-100/view/6/#s wrong! What buttons when using a Power Apps "technicians use the canvas app" it doesn't say Technicians use Power Automate mobile app to alert salespeople. I hope to have this question on my exam next week!

Flow button for mobile is correct. Most people are connecting alert with Canvas Apps. Problem is not saying that you have to create that button inside Power Apps. You can have a Flow button for alert and Canvas App for entering data after that.

"B" Power Apps - "use the canvas app to IMMEDIATELY alert" A Flow button would require leaving the app to invoke

It must be a Power Apps trigger flow to inform the sales. "So the Answer has to be B"
