What is the best method for having a flow kick-off after every successful completion of another flow which is scheduled every 15 mins? I haven't found documentation for this but if there are docs for it that would be helpful

Hey! You can `run_deployment()` inside of your flow run, maybe inside of the `on_completion` <https://docs.prefect.io/2.11.3/concepts/states/#state-change-hooks|hook>. here is a <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-recipes/blob/main/flows-advanced/parent-orchestrator/pokemon_weight.py|general example >for how to use run deployment.

Additionally if you're using Prefect Cloud, use can use <https://docs.prefect.io/2.11.3/concepts/automations/|automations>, where you can trigger a flow to kick off after every success.

Coming in clutch again, thank you <@U02EBC3N05N>!

<@U02EBC3N05N> I am trying to implement your suggestion and just need a bit more clarification; I am trying to have each of my flows in the list execute sequentially upon successful completion of the main flow. See screenshots. It looks like I need to pass in the main flow state to the start_other_flows() function somehow, can you help me understand how to do this?

I don't believe you need `@task` around `start_other_flows` it should just be a callable

You're right, and turns out I need to pass in variables from the event hook so I changed the function to this and it worked. Thank you!
