Flow designer flow - how to wait until a specific record is created in a specific table

Flow designer flow - how to wait until a specific record is created in a specific table:

I am working on building a catalog flow- where I need to update VMI records using Obj ID. This record will be created via vcenter discovery . Catalog flow should look for the VMI based on teh Obj ID entered in the RITM and once found it should update the VMI with group and owner info.

If I give fixed wait till - like 24-48 hours - even if there is a matching record - flow will still wait. I want to exit when the match found.

I am unable to select the VMI table in this wait condition:

Why not handle the further logic in the flow which gets triggered on the Other record insertion itself?

Another way

Try to use 'Do Until' and query for the record with a wait timer in it, and if the query fetches the record, the until stops. Ensure your Do Until doesn't go in infinite loop

My thoughts

• Add a "Do the following until" block.
• Inside, use "Look Up Records" on the target table with your condition i.e. Obj ID == Value from RITM
• Add a "Wait for a Duration" action (e.g., 5 minutes) to avoid rapid polling.
• The loop exits automatically when the record is found.

Do remember to use a counter variable to prevent infinite loops

Do the following until flow logic
