Creator - Programmatic Update not Triggering Flow

Creator - Programmatic Update not Triggering Flow

I have a Flow set up to be triggered by a Record Updated action in Zoho Creator.

When I update the record manually via the UI, everything works as expected.

However, I have a workflow that can be triggered in the UI to update a specific field in the Creator record. When this is used to update the record, it does not appear to trigger the Record Updated notification. There is no record in the Zoho Flow log, in spite of the record being updated by this workflow. Obviously, none of the desired actions in the Flow happen, either.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this the normal behavior?

If this is the normal behavior, how do I go about triggering the Flow from a Creator record that's updated via workflow rather than via editing through the form?
