Question
You create a suite of Power Platform-based order management canvas apps for a bakery that has five retail stores. Each store uses a tablet device to manage inventory and process orders.
You need to make the following changes to the original order tracking app:
- When an online order for delivery is received, send the order to the bakery that is located closest to the order destination.
- When an online order for pickup is received, require store staff to enter an estimated time in an app. Staff must prepare the order and then use the app to notify the customer when the order is ready.
- Allow the store manager to personalize the company's corporate weekly newsletter and add store-specific specials.
You must minimize the amount of custom code and configuration required to implement the solution.
What should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation
Determine which store is closest to the order destination: a Power Automate cloud flow can be triggered when the online order arrives, look up store locations and route the order with no code, whereas a plug-in requires custom code and a logic app adds Azure configuration outside the Power Platform apps. Estimate the time required to prepare an order and notify the customer: adding a screen to the existing order canvas app that store staff already use on their tablets is the least work; a new canvas app or a logic app would duplicate configuration.
Send the newsletter by email to customers: a cloud flow started from the corporate newsletter email lets the store manager personalize the content and add store specials before it is sent. A UI flow (desktop flow) is meant for automating legacy user interfaces, not for sending email, so it adds needless configuration.
