Is there a workflow for creating a list?
The list has a workflow that should be triggered on item creation, however it is not being triggered. If I create the item manually the workflow then IS triggered. I tried creating the item both in SP 2010 with or without impersonation and SP 2013 workflows, but all do not trigger the workflow to start. Any ideas?
Which is an example of the SPD workflow?
Example: ParentWorkflow on “ParentList” starts on CreatItem and creates with “Create Item” activity a list item in “ChildList” wich will start “ChildWorkflow” automatically on list item creation. If you use on premises instead of sharepoint online check following answer: SPD 2013 Workflow not starting automatically on Item Creation
How to use parent workflow on SP online?

How to publish workflow as never as system account?
If so, use a “normal” useraccount with administrative permissions like site collection admin or owner. Also publish your workflow as this account and never as System Account. Check the workflow start options, reselect it, save and publish it again on both workflows. Also note number one, never as system account.
I’m creating a SharePoint List item from a sharepoint designer workflow (create item). The list has a workflow that should be triggered on item creation, however it is not being triggered. If I create the item manually the workflow then IS triggered.
Why are items created by workflow not automatically triggered?
According to the source below, because items created by workflow are created by the system account, they don’t automatically trigger workflows (either on create or change). Thanks for contributing an answer to SharePoint Stack Exchange!
