Open an Excel file when a PDF is saved in a specific directory

Hi all, 
 
I hope you are all well. 

I want to create my first PowerAutomate workflow. 
The plan is that an Excel file will open when a PDF file is saved in my directory. 
I've tried using the desktop app and I've tried using Web Automate, but it's not working.
I think I used the wrong actions or triggers.
Maybe someone can help me.
 
Thanks in advance and best regards Andreas
