hi everyone, anyone know how to schedule cron jobs on UI now? I’m not seeing deployments in my prefect cloud as well.

Hi Ofir - the flow and deployment pages are now combined. You can navigate to your deployment from the flows page where you can add a cron string.

hi @Will Raphaelson thanks for helping, i tried to click that burger icon, only see copy id and automate, should i choose automate?

Deployments are created via the API using either the CLI or the python class. After its created, you can add a cron string as a schedule via the UI. https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/deployments/

is it still possible to directly add schedule on ui?

You still have to create the deployment, and as I understand, that's not posible from the UI, you have to deploy your Flow first

Emil is correct, thanks Emil. You’ll need to create the deployment (i like using the CLI) first, and then once the deployment is created you’ll see an option in the ui like this

in the new UI, you go to the Flows section and there you'll find a Deployments dropdown for the Deployed Flows and there you can go to edit your deployment:

I'm not sure if I can help you with that error. I prefer deploying using Python, maybe this example can help you:

from prefect.deployments import Deployment

@flow
def your_flow_function():
    return 0

def deploy_flows():
    depl_flow = Deployment.build_from_flow(flow=your_flow_function, name="deploymentname", 
                                                  work_queue_name='yourqueue')
    depl_flow.apply()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    deploy_flows()

😂 i kinda know what’s going on, I need to build the yaml file first by

prefect deployment build

yeap

--apply

cmd is super useful sir

that's why I use python instead of CLI for deployments, I can just have a python deployment file sitting in the same folder where my new flow is also sitting

after putting the deployment file in the folder, how to “trigger” it?

just run it, but you can also do the same that I did in the Python example code that I shared here

If you don't have an agent running, you won't be able to run your deployments. Go read the agents section on the Concepts page: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/work-pools/

i created a work pool and attached all deployments to it, its working well now!
