Can't use same trigger on two different workflows

Questions
1

Hi everyone, I’m new to n8n. I have two separate workflows that use the same trigger but filter out different data. My question is: can both workflows work simultaneously with the same trigger or should I combine everything into a single workflow?
Currently, when a new paid order triggers the workflows, only one of them runs. In Zapier, I was able to use the same trigger across multiple workflows without any issues. Is something similar possible in n8n?
(Shopify new paid order is used as a trigger)

Same problem, with a different trigger.

Some triggers can be only hooked in once into n8n.

I solved this building a trigger router routing to different subworkflows with a switch; keeps the workflows and triggers clean.
