Button to trigger Flow in link to SharePoint item
Hello!
I have a button in a SharePoint list column that triggers an approval flow for a selected item. It's a regular single line of text column.
When you open the item in the SharePoint list, or open a link to the item, the button isn't there. It's just a blank text field. I want to be able to email the link to the item, and let the receipt click the button to run the flow when editing the item, instead of giving them access to the entire list. Is there currently a way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!

MeShare685 Create a flow button in list using JSON column formatting. Flow button will be shown in list view as well as "display" form of list item (<siteUrl>/lists/listName/dispform.aspx?ID=1.
Follow this Microsoft official documentation for more information: Create a button to launch a Flow
