Get records naming convention

Checked by the Salesforce Flow scan. Severity low.

FL-011LowMaintainability

What it requires. Get Records elements must be named with a Get_ prefix. Custom Metadata or Custom Settings fetch elements must use a Fetch_ prefix. Create, Update, and Delete elements must use Create_, Update_, and Del_ prefixes respectively.

Why it matters. DML element prefixes immediately communicate the type of database operation being performed, making flows easier to audit for governor limit risks and easier to understand during reviews.

How to fix it. Rename all DML elements to include the correct prefix per the SFXD naming convention.
