Send an email if a new file has been added, while ignoring the creation of new folders

Hi everyone,

 

I set up the following flow:

The flow works perfectly, it sends out an email as soon as a new file has been created or added. But what I also noticed is, that it sends out an email if someone creates a new folder as well. Do you guys know how I can set the flow in a way that it ignores if new folders has been created? 

 

Thank you for your help!

    Hi,

     

    the following Flow demonstrates how you can check if the newly created element is a folder:
