Trigger Power Automate when Custom Document Set Created

Is it possible trigger a Power Automate when a custom document set is created?
 
I am using the 'When a file is created (properties only) trigger with a trigger condition of:

@and(   equals(triggerBody()?['IsFolder'], true),   startsWith(triggerBody()?['ContentTypeId'], '0x0120D520') )

    I have never had a need to do this, but let me ask you this? Did you try creating a custom document set without the trigger condition? If so, did the flow trigger? If yes, that answers your question. If not, then there is probably an issue with your trigger condition. 
     
    If it triggers, but not with your condition, I would first add the trigger condition @startsWith(triggerBody()?['ContentTypeId'], '0x0120D520') since I would think that a document set is not a folder. If it triggers with the content type trigger condition, then using the trigger condition equals(triggerBody()?['IsFolder'], true) is not going to work.
