Either increae the value of the 2u2 electro, or increase the value of the
decay pot to 500k

Yes, it requires a gate signal.

>How can I change it to accept a trigger including a gate?

You would need to feed your trigger signal into something that can stretch
the pulse - a 555 wired as a monostable may do it, or perhaps use an ADSR as
a pulse stretcher.
