Can't connect with SharePoint Library

Hi, I've got a problem with "When an item is created" trigger.

I'm trying to connect it with a library instead of list:

There are folders in chosen folder that I want to control with the flow. But when I try to create a condition that will check if new item is a folder, no dynamic content appears:

How can I repair it?

It looks like Power Automate can't find a library, but I don't understand why:

Hi @Bartek_Zur,

The trigger "When an item is created" fires only when a new SharePoint list item is added.

It mean that when a new item is added to the list is now active, and runs whenever new items are added to the list in the specified SharePoint site.

More details, please check the following doc:

Microsoft SharePoint Connector for Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

Instead, I think you should use the "When a file is created (properties only)" as a trigger, which will also triggers when a folder is created.

Or you could try "when a file is created of modified in a folder", then use the Get file metadata and reference to the IsFolder property.

@Bartek_Zur

Why are you using the When a new item is created trigger rather than When a file is created? I believe that is the root cause of your issue.
