Hello everyone! Does sb know if there is a on_cancelled hook that we can use for flows to execute code on cancellation (e.g like cleanup of things)?

There doesn't seem to be an `on_cancelled` hook, but you should be able to access the run state as described in this example: <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-take-action-on-a-state-change-of-a-task-run-task-level-state-handler/82>
It seems that this only applis to tasks though, not flows. Perhaps it might work if you submit your flow as a subflow and access the future from the parent flow.

You can also return the flow state directly using `return_state=True`: <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/states/#return-prefect-state>

Note `on_cancelled`  si coming soon? :smile: i think i remember reading it somewhere

<@U03RN8W7DPU> Probably thinking of <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/9389> :slightly_smiling_face:

The `on_cancellation` flow run state change hook is released. Please see our new documentation for more details:
