Flow based on Button in Sharepoint List

[Anonymous]

Flow is used to copy information from a Forms response into a Sharepoint List

I have a button int the Sharepoint List, 'Generate Documents' which triggers a Flow. How can I pass the current list item information into Flow?

The button is a column with the JSON format edited:

{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "button", "customRowAction": { "action": "executeFlow", "actionParams": "{\"id\": \"id}" }, "attributes": { "class": "ms-fontColor-themePrimary ms-fontColor-themeDarker--hover" }, "style": { "border": "none", "background-color": "transparent", "cursor": "pointer" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "span", "attributes": { "iconName": "Flow" }, "style": { "padding-right": "6px" } }, { "elmType": "span", "txtContent": "Generate Documents" } ] }

@Anonymous create your flow first using the For a selected item SharePoint trigger. Copy the ID of the flow:

 Then use that ID in your JSON column format:

This is perfect, thanks @RobElliott . I was just confused as to how Flow is able to retrieve the item from the Flow trigger ID, but I can now accept that it is magic and it works great.
