Check for Duplicate Records
To prevent duplicate records, check for records that match a set of criteria and specify what happens if the flow finds matching records. Some field-level configurations and validations in your org override the settings in the Create Records element.
To check for duplicate records, enable Check for Matching Records. You can then specify the conditions to look for when checking for duplicate records.

| Select | If you want to |
|---|---|
| Update the matching record | Update the matching record with the values that you specified in the Create Records element. |
| Skip the matching record | Skip the matching record and don't create or update any records. |
If Multiple Matching Records Exist
Decide what action to take if multiple matching records are found.

| Update the most recently modified record | Update the most recently modified matching record with the values that you specified in the Create Records element. |
