App Step to copy document to second library with Workflow in SPD2013
This is normal behaviour. A workflow will not automatically trigger on an item that is created by a workflow. This protection mechanism is called 'workflow recursion prevention'. Example: A workflow is triggered when a new document is added. That workflow created a second document in the same library. This would result in an endless loop.
You can solve this issue by using rest calls to start the workflow on the new created item. You can find more information at the following https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sridhara/2014/08/21/fix-sharepoint-2013-workflow-recursion-prevention-part-2/.
