The final flow looks like below.

Notes on Custom notification:

You can create up to 500 custom notification types.

Each notification can have up to 10,000 users as recipients. However, you can add an action to the same process within Process Builder or to the same flow in Flow Builder to have more recipients.

Your org saves your most recent 1 million custom notifications for view in notification trays. Your org can save up to 1.2 million custom notifications, but it trims the amount to the most recent 1 million notifications when you reach the 1.2 million limits.

An org can execute up to 10,000 notification actions per hour. When you exceed this limit, no more notifications are sent in that hour, and all unsent notifications are lost. Notification actions resume in the next hour. For example, your notification action processes are triggered 10,250 times between 4:00 and 5:00. Salesforce executes the first 10,000 of those actions. The remaining 250 notifications aren’t sent and are lost. Salesforce begins executing notification actions again at 5:01.

Custom notification title and body fields support plain text only.
