If the notification is caused by something in Flow Designer then why are you creating an event?

Create a notification where the Send When is "TRIGGERED"

Then, just call the Send Notification activity in Flow Designer and call this notification specifically.

Cut out the event middleman.

Also, doing events via the Create Record action is a bit of a pain in the sit-downer.

I made a video explaining how to make a custom Flow Action that works much like gs.eventQueue and gs.eventQueueScheduled (if you're committed to the event route)
