I have a workflow setup in NWC that performs a "create an item" task in my on prem Sharepoint environment. I have a workflow setup within my list library to file at creation. When items are created via the Workflow Cloud, the workflow will not fire. However if I manually create the item in the list library, the workflow will fire. Any ideas on why this is occurring? I can confirm, the "Start when items are created" is set to "Yes". If there is a place I can look, I would greatly appreciate it.

Start Workflow at creation does not start with Workflow Cloud downloading into Sharepoint On Prem

Is NWC creating items as a system account? If so, Workflows on Prem will not start if the items are created by a System account. To fix this, you should run this PowerShell to allow.
