Correct Answers: A, B and D

Dataverse provides the three connectors that Power Automate can use: Common Data Service, Common Data Service (current environment), and Dynamics 365 connector.

Each of the connectors has a list of triggers and actions.

There are similar triggers and actions between all connectors, like “When a record is created,” “Create a new row,” or “Create a new record.”

The Common Data Service connector has the following actions:

The Dynamics 365 connector has the same actions, but this connector is deprecated.

Microsoft recommends using Common Data Service (current environment) for all your Dataverse and Dynamics 365 data connection needs in the new flows.

The Common Data Service connector can benefit you when you need to synchronize data between two environments.

The Common Data Service (current environment) connector has the same actions as the other two but also half a dozen more, like “Relate rows,” “Predict,” “Perform a bound action,” “Get file or image content,” and others.

Options C and E are incorrect because these actions are part of the Common Data Service (current environment) connector, but not of Common Data Service.

As a Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant, I can confirm that the Common Data Service (CDS) connector provides several actions that can be used in Power Automate flows. The correct answers to this question are A, B, C, and D.

A. Create a new record: This action creates a new record in a specified table in the Common Data Service. You can map the fields of the record to values from other actions in the flow or use static values.

B. Delete a record: This action deletes a record from a specified table in the Common Data Service. You can specify which record to delete by providing the record ID or filtering the records by specific criteria.

C. Relate rows: This action creates a relationship between two records in different tables in the Common Data Service. You can specify the relationship type, the tables, and the records to relate.

D. List records: This action retrieves a list of records from a specified table in the Common Data Service. You can filter the records by specific criteria and order them by a specified field.

E. Predict: This action is not available in the Common Data Service connector. The Predict action is part of the AI Builder connector and allows you to create and use predictive models in your flows.

In conclusion, the correct answers for this question are A, B, C, and D. The Common Data Service connector provides several actions that can be used to create, read, update, and delete records in the Common Data Service, as well as to create relationships between records.
