Hello, Does anyone if prefect can provide this? I have a flow running in Deployment A and there are additional flows in deployment B. I need to verify if the flow in deployment A is successfully ran (in the scheduled time) to kick-off flows in Deployment B. I tried searching in documents but couldn't find anything helpful. Can anyone please guide me if this is possible or share the related document?

Not out of the box. But you can use the prefect python client OR api to code the functionality you want on Deployment B flow run.

hi @Mohan kancherla - there's a few ways to go about this - 2 common patterns are: • events, if you're on prefect cloud. you can create an automation to
Run a Deployment
when you see a
prefect.flow-run.Completed
event that has your
Deployment A
as a related resource • you can have a parent flow that orchestrates the deployments
Copy code
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment

@flow
def parent():
    A = run_deployment("flow-a/deployment-a")
    if A.state.is_completed():
       B = run_deployment("flow-b/deployment-b")

I like the approach 2 and does it also accepts the environmental variables(parameters) to the flow, in the run deployment?

you can pass
parameters
to
run_deployment
, which should be a dictionary of the parameters that the flow run accepts (must be JSON serializable!)

Ah my interpretation of
in the scheduled time
was that they were not late šŸ˜„
