Dynamics 365 - PostItem_V2 - testing for duplicates

I am using PostItem_V2 to create a record in the 'Contact' entity in Dynamics 365. Dynamics is happy to accept a duplicate contact name as that record name does not have to be unique. Is there a simple way of testing for a duplicate within the flow?

Looking at the connector specification and advanced options in the flow it doesn't seem to cover that:

The expression for the first value in the Condition as below:

length(body('Filter_array'))
