Background -
Northwind Traders uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales to manage its sales process. To better understand its customers, Northwind Traders invests in a team of researchers who gather data from multiple sources. The company stores the data it collects in a Microsoft Azure SQL Database. The company plans to use the data to enrich account records and make the sales team more effective.
Current environment -
Environment -
• The company has three Microsoft Power Platform environments with Dynamics 365 Sales installed. The environments are named development, test, and production.
• Each environment has an application user that can be used for integrations.
• The company must use solutions to perform all customization and configuration deployment.
Data -
• Researchers are responsible for creating account records.
• Researchers have permissions on the Account table to create records, read all records, and update records they own.
• A synchronous plug-in runs when an account record is created and could reassign the record to a different user.
• Users must access data as themselves to enforce security and audit changes.
• A column named new_dataid is added to the Account table. The column uniquely identifies which data it should receive.
• Researchers have researched only the top 20 percent of account records.
Web API -
• The company creates an Azure Function to run a RESTful .NET Web API.
• Data can be retrieved by placing a GET request to the URL https://dataservice-[ENVIRONMENTNAME].azurewebsites.net/enrich/[DATAID].
• [ENVIRONMENTNAME] is the name of the Microsoft Power Platform environment that requests the data.
• [DATAID] is the new_dataid column in the Account table.
• The Web API response will return a 200 response plus data if the DataId is found. Otherwise, a 404 response is returned.
• Developers plan to create a custom connector from the Web API to make it accessible from Microsoft Power Platform.
Requirements -
Custom connector -
• The Web API definition used to create the custom connector must be generated based on a low-code technology.
• The URL used by the custom connector must incorporate the current environment name without hardcoding values.
• Errors generated by the custom connector must not cause downstream processes to fail.
• Text descriptions and field placeholder text that describe the use of the custom connector must appear for non-developers.
Process -
• All account records must be updated with data from the Web API once automatically.
• Only account records that contain a DataId should be updated by the Web API.
• Researchers must create Power Automate flows to specify data analysis priority.
• The researchers require a process that repurposes a set of identical steps of parameterized Microsoft Dataverse queries from a Power Automate flow for use in other flows that have different parameters. The researchers want to avoid recreating the steps manually each time they create a flow to save time and avoid errors.
Issues -
• A tester attempts to connect to the production instance of the Web API with a DataId that should return data. The tester receives an error stating that the remote name could not be resolved.
• A missing component causes an error to occur when importing the solution that contains the Power Automate flow to update account records in a test environment.
You need to choose a technology to access the Web API.
Which technology should you select?
A. Canvas app that uses the custom connector
B. Plug-in that contacts the Web API
C. Power Automate flow that uses the custom connector
D. Webhook that contacts the Web API
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A Power Automate flow using a custom connector best meets the requirements. The Web API definition must be generated using low-code, which aligns with custom connectors and Power Automate rather than plug-ins or webhooks. Power Automate supports environment-aware configuration, robust error handling that prevents downstream failures, and descriptive metadata for non-developers. It also enables researchers to control execution priority and reuse parameterized Dataverse query steps across flows, fulfilling the process and governance requirements.
Question 136
You are developing a Power Platform solution. The solution connects to a third-party accounting system by using a Web API through a Power Apps app that automatically exchanges contacts with the sales data.
You have the following code: (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
You need to ensure that the code only synchronizes data that was not previously synchronized.
Which code segment should you insert at line 02?
A. Prefer: odata.track-changes
B. Prefer: odata.allow-entityreferences
C. Prefer: odata.include-annotations
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: To synchronize only data that has not been previously synchronized, the app must be able to track changes since the last request. The OData header `Prefer: odata.track-changes` enables change tracking by returning a delta link, which allows subsequent calls to retrieve only new or modified records. The other options control annotations or entity references and do not support incremental synchronization.
Question 137
HOTSPOT -
Contoso, Ltd. has a database that stores proprietary stock market information that the company has accumulated over many years.
You create a RESTful service for the company that exposes specific information about stocks. You must make the service available to the company's brokers. The service must be certified by Microsoft.
You need to create a custom connector for the service APIs.
How should you configure the connector? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Contoso, Ltd.
apiProperties.json
Explanation: For a Microsoft-certified custom connector, the owning organization is the company that owns the backend service (Contoso, Ltd.). The stackOwner property is required for certification and is defined as a top-level property in the apiProperties.json file.
Question 138
You need to reduce the number of Azure consumption API calls for User2.
Which markup segment should you use?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: To reduce the number of Azure Consumption API calls, you must choose the markup segment that enforces the lowest effective call rate. Among the options, segment C results in approximately 1 call per minute, which is significantly lower than the other segments (which allow hundreds of calls per minute based on their rate limit and renewal period). This directly addresses User2’s issue of excessive API calls by throttling usage to the minimum.
Question 139
You are troubleshooting a new canvas app.
Users report the app loads slowly. You use the Monitor tool to view various events being performed in the app. Events performed in the app do not have formula details.
You need to enable formulas to be included with the Monitor tool events.
What should you do?
A. Add the Microsoft Azure Application Insights data source to the canvas app
B. After each event, implement the trace function within the canvas app
C. Turn on the Debug published app setting in the canvas app
D. Validate the Application Insights instrumentation key has been populated in the app object's properties within the canvas app
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: In the Monitor tool, formula details are only captured when debugging is enabled for the app. Turning on the **Debug published app** setting ensures that formulas are included with Monitor events. Application Insights and trace functions are for telemetry and custom logging, not for enabling formula visibility in Monitor.
Question 140
HOTSPOT
-
You are creating a new model-driven app.
The app must meet the following requirements:
• Display an image that can be resized without loss in quality.
• Use a client API function to return language-localized text.
You need to customize the app by using web resources.
Which web resource types should you use?
To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation: SVG is a vector image format that can be resized without quality loss. RESX resource files store localized strings that can be accessed via client API functions for language-specific text.
Question 141
A company uses Microsoft Dataverse rollup fields to calculate insurance exposure and risk profiles for customers.
Users report that the system does not update values for the rollup fields when new insurance policies are written.
You need to recalculate the value of the rollup fields immediately after a policy is created.
What should you do?
A. Create new fields on the customer entity for insurance exposure and risk. Write a workflow process that is triggered when a new policy record is created to calculate the sum of values from policy records.
B. Create new calculated fields on the customer entity for insurance exposure and risk. Configure the formula to calculate the sum of values from policy records.
C. Change the frequency of the Calculate Rollup Field recurring job from every hour to every five minutes.
D. Create new fields on the customer entity for insurance exposure and risk. Write a plug-in that is triggered whenever a new policy is created.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Rollup fields in Dataverse are calculated asynchronously on a schedule, so they do not update immediately when related records are created. To force an immediate recalculation after a policy is created, you must use server-side logic (such as a plug-in) triggered on policy creation to explicitly recalculate the rollup field (via the CalculateRollupField message). Changing the recurring job frequency does not guarantee immediate updates, and calculated fields or workflows cannot replace rollup behavior for aggregation across related records.
Question 142
DRAG DROP
-
You are creating a model-driven app
You are using the Opportunities table to estimate the opportunity. The requirements for the app include:
• An email must be sent to the sales team if the opportunity is over $50,000.
• Users must be able to enter sponsors when creating a record if the opportunity is over one million dollars.
You must minimize the lines of code required.
You need to implement the app.
Which tools should you use?
To answer, drag the appropriate tools to the correct requirements. Each tool may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Opportunity over $50,000:
Power Automate cloud flow
Opportunity over one million dollars:
Business rules
Explanation: Sending an email based on a data condition is best handled with a Power Automate cloud flow. Showing or requiring fields (such as sponsors) on a form based on field values can be done with business rules, which minimizes code and works directly in model-driven apps.
Question 143
A company uses a custom Power Platform app to create and manage programs. The company has a public website that uses TLS 1.0.
The public website is outside of the corporate domain. The website uses POST requests to save data.
You need to automate the transfer of data to the public website.
What should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Create a plug-in that uses a secure connection
Register a step for the program create message step by using the Plug-in Registration tool
Explanation: Power Platform and Power Automate cannot send HTTP requests to endpoints that only support TLS 1.0. A Dataverse plug-in can run server-side and securely call an external endpoint or intermediary that supports TLS 1.0. To automate the transfer when a program is created, the plug-in must be registered on the Create message using the Plug-in Registration tool. Pre-images are not available for Create messages.

You must create a custom connector to connect the app to the Microsoft Graph API.
You need to configure the environment before creating the custom connector.
Which actions should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Register Application and specify permissions
Open Postman and create collections
Explanation: Authentication to Microsoft Graph requires registering an app in Azure AD and configuring API permissions. To use Postman requests as the basis for a custom connector, you must first create the API calls as Postman collections.
