Simple Flow Creation Help

First time using Flows and I feel like I'm missing a simple piece but I just can't see where.  I am trying to setup a simple action of sending an email when any new lead is created.  I found several ways to do this, two really simple ones and I keep running into the same error when running them.     

Route 1: Created an email template, created an email alert, created a record-triggered flow --> Send email alert --> Select the email alert I just created, it's asking for a Record ID which I don't know what to use and no matter what I put in this field I get the error "Missing required input parameter: customNotifTypeId" when running the flow.     

Route 2: Create a record-triggered flow, Action --> Send Email --> Enter in the email addresses, use the template I created from Route 1 and I get the same error here as I did in Route 1.     

I get an email when I fail these runs with the below information.  My thoughts on why I keep getting the below email with the same issue is that there is no new lead when I try to run the flow thus it can't send anything and I get the email below.     

GET RECORDS: Get Custom Notification Type   Find all CustomNotificationType records where:   DeveloperName Equals Lead_Notification   Store the values of these fields in Get_Custom_Notification_Type: CreatedById, Id   Result  Failed to find records    @Salesforce Flow Automation
