Hi, I’m having trouble with my google drive trigger, I want it to run when I upload a file in the foder not only if I create a file, for some reason only works when I test the workflow what it could be?

Solved, the problem was the team was changing the files from folder to folder for some reason the trigger wasnt working, we started to upload directly to the folder and now is working. If someone find some way to do changing folders LMK 😁
