@miaroze You can improve the efficiency of your flow if you use a Filter Array action instead of looping through each section returned from the Get sections in notebook action and running a check to see if the section already exists.
I would recommend using a manual trigger in your flow so you can quickly run tests rather than needing to leave Power Automate to fill out a form. I cover how to do that in this section of one of my YT Tutorials.
Whenever I use a Filter Array action, I always like to return the count of items returned in a Compose action. This is helpful when building a flow and can also be used to troubleshoot your flow.
Insert a Compose action. Add an Expression. Use the length() function.
Select the Dynamic content tab and insert the body dynamic content from the Filter Array action into the length() function.
Run a test. Review the output of the Compose action. It's important to note that the Filter Array action is case sensitive. I'm unsure if the dynamic content you are using from the Get Response Details action is a choice selection or a manual entry. You'll need to account for whether or not the values will actually match since you are using the is equal to operator.
Add a Condition action to your flow. If items have returned (aka there is number stored in the Compose action—that is not equal to 0), add the rest of your actions to the Yes branch. If not, do nothing.
