(one part of) an advanced flow needs to have a start button.

You can add it being the only trigger, or in parallel to other trigger cards:

That’s the only way to manually start advanced flows AFAIK.

First you have to trigger a (part of a) flow with one of these **WHEN** cards:

and make sure to _ **save that flow** _ before continuing.  
Now you can select that flow from another flow when you use one of these **THEN** cards:
