Question

A company creates multiple cases in Microsoft Dataverse each day with a status of New. For all cases with a status of New, the system must send an email to the customer and then change the status to In Process. You need to create a Microsoft Power Automate cloud flow to automatically send the email. What should you do?

Options

  • ATrigger the flow on a schedule and then configure the flow to use the Filter array data operation to
  • BTrigger the flow when the case is created and then configure the flow to send the email.
  • CTrigger the flow when the case is updated and then configure the flow to send the email.
  • DTrigger the flow on a schedule and then configure the flow to use Dataverse List rows action to

Why each option

To automatically process all cases in Dataverse with a "New" status, a Power Automate scheduled cloud flow should be configured to use the Dataverse List rows action.

ATrigger the flow on a schedule and then configure the flow to use the Filter array data operation to

While a scheduled flow is appropriate, the "Filter array" data operation is used to filter an existing array of data within Power Automate, not to query data directly from Dataverse; the "List rows" action is needed first to retrieve the data.

BTrigger the flow when the case is created and then configure the flow to send the email.

Triggering the flow only on case creation would miss existing cases that were created prior to the flow's activation or other cases that achieve "New" status via updates.

CTrigger the flow when the case is updated and then configure the flow to send the email.

Triggering the flow only when a case is updated would miss cases that were initially created with a "New" status and never subsequently updated, meaning they would not be processed.

DTrigger the flow on a schedule and then configure the flow to use Dataverse List rows action toCorrect

A scheduled flow periodically runs, and the Dataverse "List rows" action is specifically designed to retrieve multiple records from a Dataverse table, allowing filtering to target cases with the "New" status for processing. This ensures all existing new cases are identified and acted upon automatically.
