Explanation

In Power Automate automated cloud flows, the SharePoint trigger ('When an item is created') operates using the connection credentials of the flow's primary owner. The flow engine polls SharePoint on behalf of the primary owner, meaning only item additions that are visible and attributed through that owner's connection context will reliably trigger the flow. Co-owners can manage the flow but do not supply the trigger connection, and general coworker actions are not guaranteed to fire the trigger under the primary owner's connection model. This is a key distinction in how automated cloud flows authenticate and monitor SharePoint lists versus instant or manual flows.
