Hi,
Is there a way to start a specific Power Automate (flow) by pressing a button in an app that is build in PowerApps?
And if yes, what kind of trigger should the flow start with?
It's less than 2 years later and your linked MS page now states that it's "(retired)".
Is there a better/new/updated way of doing this now, or do we continue to use a "retired" version waiting for it to fail because MS finally decides to completely kill the process and remove the functionality?

Just like this:
After you create this flow successfully, you need to set your app like this:
choose the button that you want to trigger the flow, choose the flow that you want to trigger.
Then use formula like this to call this flow:
