Question 11

Describe how to run a flow

Answer 11

With Power Automate, you don’t think of running a flow the same way as you do with Power Apps. Instead, you perform the activity that triggers the flow to run.

Question 12

Describe how to export to logic apps

Answer 12

Now that you have built a flow you can also export the flow. When exporting a flow, you can either export to a package or a Logic Apps template. When you export to a Logic Apps template then you can go to Azure Logic Apps and import the template.
