Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

Can you trigger a flow to run based a message sent in slack?

If you can send a webhook based on some behavior in Slack, you could send a <https://docs.prefect.io/2.10.14/cloud/webhooks|webhook to Prefect Cloud> and use <https://docs.prefect.io/2.10.14/cloud/automations/|an automation> to trigger a deployment.

One example is that you could potentially attach <https://api.slack.com/legacy/interactive-messages|an interactive button> to your Slack message and then send a webhook to Prefect Cloud based on that.
