{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "txtContent": "Press this button",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "executeFlow",
    "actionParams": "{\"id\": \"70bcc1be-c1af-436c-94a6-50828b1582ef\"}"
  },
  "style": {
    "background-color": "#460302",
    "color": "#ffffff"
  }
}

 

 

As this is to work with a document library, your trigger in the flow must be the SharePoint "for a selected file". If it was a list it woujld be "for a selected list"
