If you are using yaml pipeline, you can set trigger to the new branch name in the azure-pipelines.yml file, so that the pipeline will be triggered automatically when the branch is created.
trigger:
- dev
Then in the pipeline, you can through Build.SourceBranchName predefined variable to get branch name.
Build.SourceBranchName: The name of the branch in the triggering repo the build was queued for.
