A logistics company manually re-keys delivery confirmations between two systems every day, and staff often forget to send the customer notification. Which Power Platform service is designed to optimise this business process by running an automated workflow between the apps and services involved?

  • APower Automate, which creates automated workflows between apps and services to synchronise files, collect data, and send notifications. Correct
  • BPower Apps, which builds custom business applications that let users enter and view organisational data through a tailored interface.
  • CPower Pages, which creates and hosts secure external-facing websites that customers and partners use across browsers and devices.
  • DDataverse, which securely stores and manages the data used by business applications across the Power Platform.
Power Automate is the service for automating repetitive processes and workflows that move data and send notifications between apps and services. Power Automate optimises business processes and automates repetitive tasks by creating automated workflows between apps and services to synchronise files, get notifications, and collect data, which is exactly the re-keying and notification work described.

Why A is correct: Correct. Power Automate optimises business processes and automates repetitive tasks by creating automated workflows between apps and services to synchronise files, get notifications, and collect data, which is exactly the re-keying and notification work described.

Why B is wrong: Tempting because an app could capture the confirmations, but the grounding scopes Power Apps to building applications, not to running automated workflows between systems on a schedule.

Why C is wrong: Power Pages is for external-facing business websites per the grounding, not for automating an internal re-keying and notification process between back-office systems.

Why D is wrong: Dataverse is the data store per the grounding; it holds the data but does not itself run the workflow that moves and notifies between the two systems.
