Setting up a Flow for a Catalog Item

We created a catalog item in ServiceNow for the Service Portal.

When I submit the form, it creates a Request [sc_request] > Requested Item [sc_req_item]

 

On the back-end, we want a workflow (or flow) to set the catalog task and assign it to a specific department.

 

We get the official ServiceNow message that workflows are being phased out in favor of a flow.

So I started a new flow, and I am in the Trigger.

 

I assume that the table would be a Requested Item [sc_req_item], because that's where the catalog tasks (SCTASK) would be located, not in the Request [sc_request] level.  Correct?  Am I setting this up right?  How come Request Item isn't showing up (see screenshot.  Is there any official documentation on how to set up a flow for a catalog item?  We are in Xanadu.

I believe your trigger should be application > Service Catalog.
