Question

You are implementing Power Apps for a company. Data from an online proprietary accounting system must be automatically updated every four hours into Microsoft Dataverse without creating duplicates. Only changes to the data must be added. Thousands of records are added per hour. You need to set up the technology to ensure that the data is integrated every four hours. What should you do?

Options

  • ACreate a custom connector.
  • BCreate a Cloud flow that exports and imports the data.
  • CExport all data to Azure Blob storage.

Explanation

Creating a scheduled Cloud flow (Power Automate) is the correct approach. A cloud flow can be set to run on a recurring 4-hour schedule, connect to the proprietary accounting system via its API or a custom connector, retrieve only changed records (delta/incremental sync), and upsert them into Dataverse to avoid creating duplicates. Creating a custom connector alone provides connectivity but does not handle scheduling or deduplication logic. Exporting all data to Azure Blob Storage does not fulfill the requirement of updating Dataverse directly and would not handle deduplication or the 4-hour scheduling into Dataverse.
