Document Sets are a standard SharePoint content type and their creation is technically an item creation operation (folder item with a specific content type). In enterprise SharePoint environments, Document Sets are widely used as business records containers and process entry points.
Currently, K2/Nintex does not provide a native trigger when a Document Set or Folder is created in a document library. This creates a functional gap compared to expected SharePoint behavior and also compared to previous Nintex for SharePoint on-premises capabilities.
This feature would allow workflows to start immediately when a Document Set or Folder is created, without requiring workarounds such as polling, metadata update triggers, or custom event integrations.
This is especially important for organizations that:
Use Document Sets as process containers
Need immediate workflow start on record/container creation
Are migrating from legacy Nintex for SharePoint solutions where this behavior was available
Currently, the lack of this trigger increases implementation complexity and forces customers to build custom integrations outside of the platform.
