I'm still new myself and have a similar question. As with most Microsoft things, you may need to devise a nonsensical workaround. Here's the best solution I've been able to integrate into our workflow.
Install and sign into the Power Automate app on your phone. You should find your button on the Buttons page. Select [ ... ] and choose Share Button Link. This will give you a url to access your workflow. Copy this url and open it on your computer's web browser.

To my knowledge, someone please tell me otherwise, the Power Automate app is the only place to find the url to the button.
