Free Microsoft Power Platform PL-200 Actual Exam Questions - Question 14 Discussion
The company needs to automatically update the Status column in real time.
You need to configure this feature.
Solution: Create a workflow that has a Change Status step.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Workflows usually run after the event completes, so the Status column won’t update exactly in real time. Wouldn’t a synchronous plugin or a real-time Power Automate flow be better here?
B. Workflows usually run asynchronously, so they don’t update fields instantly. For true real-time updates, you’d want a Power Automate flow with the “run after” trigger or a plugin that fires synchronously. Workflows just can’t guarantee that immediate status change the question is asking for.
A/B? Workflows aren’t truly real-time but some run pretty quickly. Still, if the question is strict about “real time,” workflows won’t cut it since there’s always some lag. So B makes sense here. If they want instant updates, they should use Power Automate’s instant flows or plugins instead of workflows.
It’s B, workflows have delays, real-time needs Power Automate flows or plugins.
B tbh, workflows usually don't run instantly in real-time. They tend to be asynchronous, so probably not the best for immediate status updates here.
