Hello sir, thanks for making these videos and helping all of us. Recently, I had an interview where I was asked to create a flow on the following situation, if you can create and help me that solve that, it would be great. I created one but am not able to understand what I am missing. Situation is : create a button on an opportunity to enter contact details (name, email and phone) then check if this new contact exists on an account related to that opportunity. If the contact does not exists then create a contact role record for this opportunity with a link taking to this new contact.

The first GetRecords Element fetches the account, whose ID you will feed it when you debug it. The second Get Records element ("Get Related Tasks") then fetches the tasks related to the account you now have. To that end, use: WhatId...Equals....Account From Get Account > AccountId [AKA: {!GetAccountId}. The "WhatId" is used for getting the activities (think "tasks" and "events") to a given object or record.
