How to trigger workflow job tasks from Autoloader

I have configured a File Notification Autoloader that monitors S3 bucket for binary files. I want to integrate autoloader with workflow job so that whenever a file is placed in S3 bucket, the pipeline job notebook tasks can pick-up new file and start processing. How can we integrate autoloader with a workflow job to trigger task execution when a file is detected in S3 bucket? Any pointers will be much appreciable. I referred several links but all of them talks up to setting up autoloader, and not about triggering further tasks.

you can trigger a job upon file arrival now.

Just go to Trigger > Add Trigger , Set Trigger Type to File Arrival and enter the S3 path to monitor.

I do not see any such option - Trigger on my workflow/tasks. I only see Schedule. Is there anything specific required apart from Unit catalog enablement for workspace (which I did)
