Question
You are building a custom application in Azure to process resumes for the HR department.
The app will monitor submissions of resumes and parse the resumes.
You need to parse the resumes and save contact and skills information into Microsoft Dataverse.
Which mechanism should you use?
- A. Power Automate Correct
- B. Dataverse plug-in
- C. Web API
- D. Custom workflow activity
Explanation
Power Automate can be triggered when a resume is submitted, parse its content (for example with AI Builder document processing) and create the contact and skills rows in Dataverse with the Dataverse connector, with little or no code. A plug-in or custom workflow activity runs inside Dataverse in response to Dataverse events, so it cannot monitor submissions arriving outside Dataverse. Calling the Web API directly is possible but means hand-writing the monitoring, parsing and data-writing logic that a flow already provides.
