Automated flows respond to a trigger condition. Is that what you want? Are you waiting for an event to happen, then for the flow to trigger when the event conditions happen? If that's not working for you, we would need more detail as to what you're trying to achieve and what your current trigger looks like.

If you mean to have your flow run on a schedule, say daily at noon, then you want a 'Scheduled Cloud Flow'. You would change your trigger to occur on a schedule instead of listening for an event to happen.

I am trying copy files from onpremise network folder to office365 Document library.

Here is the flow details
1) create cloud automated flow
2) Add trigger under FTP=>when file created(properties only)
3) Add action FTP=>get file content //getting ID from previous step
4)Add action sharepoint=>create file//specify document library path

The above flow works as expected but when we test manually but as per trigger it should does automatically right whenever file gets created in the source path then files should get created in sharepoint Document library based on the trigger conditions. Im not sure if we need to use schedule cloud flow in this scenario

Ah yes I believe that is the problem. The data gateway is a broker between the cloud and on-premise resources. But it won’t monitor your on-premise network path because there would need to be some extra software to support the monitoring… which the data gateway is not. The gateway is a relatively lightweight tool that just responds and sends network requests, so I would imagine your monitored folder would have to reside in OneDrive for this to work.
