How would I trigger the flash button from a different button, or just trigger a different input via a button

I have a esp8266 nodeMCU Board

I have the following schematic (or breadboard setup) I looked up my board and it says d3 is the flash button so I thought I could just hook up to it and my code would work, because my code fires on triggering of the flash button. I would be happy with using a different pin. If someone could help me with this that would be great, since I am very new to electronics.

thanks

I had the orange and yellow wire passing through the a closed side, I needed to move the orange over
