When a file is created (properties only) - exclude new folders from triggering Flow

I have a document library and a list in a SharePoint site. When a list item is submitted I have built a flow that creates a folder in the document library and gives the requested people access. This part works fine.

I have a second flow that basically sends an email to those with access to the folder when a new file is uploaded to their folder. This works absolutely fine for files. However when the initial folder is created from the first Flow, this triggers the second flow as it treats the folder as a new file.

Is there a way I can amend the second Flow to exclude folders from either the "When a file is created (properties only) trigger" or the "Get file properties" action?

You can add a Trigger Condition that checks if it's a file (Not a folder) so the flow will only run if it's a file.

The Trigger Condition would be:
@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/{IsFolder}'], false)
