PL-500 EXAM WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION
A company uses Power Automate. Developers at the company have built the company's
web services.
You want to use the web services with Power Automate using the out-of-the-box HTTP
actions in the flows.
You need to determine when to use a desktop flow for the web service calls.
Which web service requires a desktop flow?
Select only one answer.
A. A web service authenticated by Microsoft Entra ID.
B. A web service authenticated by OAuth 2.0.
C. A web service that downloads a file.
D. A web service that returns XML data.
E. A web service that uses the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). - Answer Correct
Answer
E. A web service that uses the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
This item tests the candidate's knowledge of HTTP actions in cloud and desktop flows.
Cloud flows use REST APIs. To call a SOAP web service you must use a desktop flow.
The Invoke SOAP web service action in Power Automate for Desktop can call a SOAP
web service and assists in the building of the SOAP request envelope.
Although Power Automate for desktop has strong support for XML data, it is possible to
return XML data from an HTTP action in a cloud flow. The HTTP actions in desktop flows
only provide basic username and password authentication. For Microsoft Entra ID and
OAuth 2.0 you will need to use a cloud flow. Both desktop and cloud flows have actions
that can download a file.
You are developing a desktop flow.
You need to ensure that the desktop flow can be invoked from the Windows Task
Scheduler.
Which interface should you use?
Select only one answer.
,A. Run URL
B. Cloud flow
C. The console
D. Azure Automation - Answer Correct Answer
A. Run URL
This item tests the candidate's knowledge of identifying the different methods for
running a desktop flow.
There are different methods for running a desktop flow. It can be triggered from the
console, the flow designer, cloud flows, run URLs, and desktop shortcuts.
The console is used as the central interface of Power Automate for desktop. It provides
you with different available actions—a dropdown list to switch environments, the Settings and
Help buttons, and a search bar. The flow designer contains all the tools required to design and debug a
Power Automate flow.
The run URL invoke method can be used to generate a unique URL that can be used to invoke a desktop
flow through many different sources, such as browsers, the Windows Run application, the command
prompt, and the Task Scheduler.
Error-prone and time-consuming processes can be automated by using Process Automation in Azure
Automation. However, Process Automation cannot invoke a desktop flow instance from the Task
Scheduler.
A cloud flow is used for digital process automation for any applications that have API-based connectors
available.
A company plans to use an attended desktop flow for automation.
You need to identify the considerations for running the desktop flow in attended mode compared to
unattended mode.
Which three considerations should you identify? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Select all answers that apply.
A. Run the flow via desktop shortcuts.
B. Scale the number of concurrent flows.
C. Allow remote connections on the machine.
D. Control the flow run using keyboard shortcuts.
E. Schedule the flow to run on one or more devices.
,F. Run the flow that starts an app with elevated rights. - Answer Correct Answer
A. Run the flow via desktop shortcuts.
D. Control the flow run using keyboard shortcuts.
F. Run the flow that starts an app with elevated rights.
This item tests the candidate's knowledge of identifying considerations for running attended desktop
flows versus unattended.
These are the considerations to run the flow in attended mode: control the flow run using keyboard
shortcuts, run the flow via desktop shortcuts, and run the flow with elevated rights.
The other considerations are meant to run unattended desktop flows: allow remote connections on the
machine, scale the number of concurrent flows, and schedule flows to run on one or more devices.
A company plans to use Power Automate for automation.
You need to identify the differences between cloud and desktop flows.
Which two differences should you identify? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Select all answers that apply.
A. Cloud flows can be developed on a MacBook.
B. Desktop flows allow recording of desktop activity.
C. Desktop flows can connect to Microsoft Entra ID-secured APIs.
D. Desktop flows can be developed in a modern web browser.
E. Desktop flows can be used to automate approval processes. - Answer Correct Answer
A. Cloud flows can be developed on a MacBook.
B. Desktop flows allow recording of desktop activity.
This item tests the candidate's knowledge of identifying the differences among cloud and desktopflows.
Cloud flows can be developed on a MacBook and desktop flows allow recording of desktop activity.
The other differences are incorrect. Desktop flows can be edited only using Power Automate for desktop
installed on a Windows machine. Desktop flows cannot be used to automate approval processes. You
should use a cloud flow to automate approval processes. Desktop flows cannot directly work with
Microsoft Entra ID-secured APIs as they require OAuth 2.0-based authorization, which is not currently
supported in the HTTP desktop flow action.
A company plans to use Power Automate for managing repetitive tasks.
, You need to identify Power Automate offerings.
Which two actions can be performed in a Power Automate mobile application? Each correct answer
presents a complete solution.
Select all answers that apply.
A. Create cloud flow
B. Run instant cloud flow
C. Run scheduled cloud flow
D. Run automated cloud flow
E. Create business process flow - Answer Correct Answer
A. Create cloud flow
B. Run instant cloud flow
This item tests the candidate's knowledge of identifying the Power Automate ecosystem and offerings.
You can create a cloud flow and run an instant flow using the Power Automate mobile app.
The other actions cannot be performed from within the Power Automate mobile app. The Power
Automate mobile app can be used in both Android and iOS devices. It allows users to work with Power
Automate while they are on the go.
A company uses Microsoft Power Platform to build apps.
You want to use Power Automate with canvas and model-driven apps.
You need to use triggers in a cloud flow to run the flows from within the apps.
Which two connectors can you use in the cloud flow? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Select all answers that apply.
A. HTTP
B. Microsoft Dataverse (legacy)
C. Microsoft Power Apps
D. Power Apps for Makers
E. Request - Answer Correct Answer
B. Microsoft Dataverse (legacy)
