Get Record from Record Map

Retrieve a particular record from a RecordMap using the specified key. This will commonly be used inside a Flow loop to efficiently retrieve a related record.
For example, consider the following Flow structure:
  1. 1.
    Use Get Records to retrieve a collection of Contacts
  2. 2.
    Use Build Record Map from Lookup to get a RecordMap of related Accounts using their Id as the key
  3. 3.
    Use a Loop over the collection of Contacts
  4. 4.
    Use Get Record from Record Map inside the loop with Contact.AccountId as the key to get the related Account
This approach ensures that your Flow will run efficiently within the Salesforce Flow limits by reducing queries and CPU time.
