You eventually shared that you are using a 430EX flash, which makes the process fairly easy.

Starting with "Chapter 3: Wireless Flash" of the 430EX manual, you can learn how to place the 430EX in wireless slave mode. Then read the "External Flash Function Settings" section of the EOS-M6-MK2 manual.  In case it isn't obvious, the M6 popup flash is used to trigger the external flash.

Works for my EOS-M6-MK1 / 270EX combination - with TTL metering too.
