Create a workflow that connects two lists (insert, update)

Dear Community

I have to create a workflow in SharePoint Desinger that kind of connects two lists. In my example list_1 and list_2.

The workflow has to output two essential things:

1) If an item exists or if I add an item to list_1, that doesn't exist in in list_2 -> than insert this item to list_2

2) If I update an entry in list_1, that already exists in list_2 > than update this item to list_2

Currently for testing i created following columns in list_1 and list_2
- list_1: title, unique_id_list_1, unique_id_list_2
- list_2 list: title, connected_id_list_2

I would be so thankful, if anyone could help me to define the the right conditions (Step-for-Step) to the workflow.

Have a nice day.
