Hi Gareth,
I am also in similar case where I need to trigger flow from List View Webpart. Did you get a solution based on ChrisWebbTech 's suggestion.
If Yes, can you let us know the approach which you did.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Arjun
No unfortunately I couldn't find any way of constructing a full URL to fire the flow. I've looked at a few resources from Microsoft but to be honest there wasn't much documentation on this that I could find. For the time being I've been telling my users that if they want the button functionality it needs to be within a library rather than pages.
This is unfortunate because the functionality works really well and we have several use cases for it. I'm hoping that Microsoft add the ability for the buttons to fire on pages fairly soon. I've also created a suggestion in UserVoice if anyone would like to vote for it :-)

Hey Gareth,
FYI, had raised this question to Laura, the Flow expert through tweet and she responded that this is a known issue and not sure when it is going to get fixed. You can check my tweet question.
Thx.

Thanks Gareth. Same here. I did a recent implementation for the same and was struggling for 2 days for having this functionality since my users also needed that. Thanks anyways for the update.
It is unfortunate that we do not have that from the List View Webpart.
BTB, I have + voted for your user voice.
