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.

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
