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 https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/36709321-ability-to-run-flow-from-library-list-webpart in UserVoice if anyone would like to vote for it :-)

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.
