Move Files from One Folder to Another

I have what I think is a very simple task but can't seem to get my triggers to work properly.

I have a group form which includes file uploads. These attachments are stored in an autogenerated file within the group sharepoint. I simply want to set up a flow that will move these attachments to a different folder once they are added via a form submission. I've tried using the "When a file is created" sharepoint trigger, but it is not triggering when the form is submitted and a new attachment is added to the folder.

You can follow my article here: https://willpage.dev/2021/06/01/processing-microsoft-forms-file-upload-in-power-automate/

The only difference is the location of the files is the owner group's SharePoint site instead of the form owner's OneDrive. But otherwise identical.

Thanks Will! That would work as an alternative, but is there a simpler way to just move the files from the group SharePoint site as they are added to a different folder within the same SharePoint site?

You could create a flow to trigger when a new file is created and then do the Move file action. That's a very simple flow, but you would lose the link to the form response.
