Wait for new file from here - If excist, run script further?

How do I create a script that Waits for a new file to be saved in a specific folder?
And when it does excist, then proceed with the script?
Note:
I'm trying to let the script run further auto-pilot, after I saved a document.
This document always ends up in same folder, but with different names.
Extension is .docx
After it's been saved (a new file therefor), the script should proceed.

Use
File Monitor trigger
It can monitor new files by mask and start the task

I was looking under Actions instead of Triggering Events, Thanks!
Works
