Hello,
I have a flow called "Ask for Approval" that is currently triggered when a new record is added to a table.
However, I want it to be triggered only when a specific UI action is clicked

you can use code snippet from that flow and use that to invoke from server side

Hi,
In addition to what Ankur already stated, convert your Flow into a Subflow (which doesn't require a trigger) then trigger it through script, as shown by Ankur.
