Question

A company uses a custom application to store customer data. The application has a well- documented REST API available. When an email from a customer arrives in a shared inbox, the application must create a record. You must automate the process of writing customers' data to the application prior to account manager approval. You need to create a Microsoft Power Automate cloud flow that can write data to the application. What should you create?

Options

  • ACloud flow that uses an HTTP action
  • BCloud flow that creates a record in Microsoft Dataverse
  • CLogic Apps flow that uses an HTTP action
  • DCloud flow that uses an FTP action to access the application

Why each option

To automate writing customer data from a shared inbox to a custom application possessing a REST API, a Power Automate cloud flow should be created that utilizes an HTTP action to send data via the API.

ACloud flow that uses an HTTP actionCorrect

A Power Automate cloud flow that uses an HTTP action is the correct choice because REST APIs are designed to be consumed via standard HTTP requests. The HTTP action in Power Automate allows the flow to send POST, PUT, or other necessary requests to the custom application's API endpoints to create or update records.

BCloud flow that creates a record in Microsoft Dataverse

Creating a record in Microsoft Dataverse would store the data in Dataverse, not in the specified "custom application," which has its own REST API.

CLogic Apps flow that uses an HTTP action

While Azure Logic Apps can also use HTTP actions to connect to REST APIs, the question specifically asks to create a Microsoft Power Automate cloud flow, making this choice incorrect based on the specified tool.

DCloud flow that uses an FTP action to access the application

An FTP action is used for file transfer over FTP, not for interacting with a REST API to create data records within an application.
