*Is there a way in Prefect to set Deployment B to be dependent on Deployment A? (cross DAG deps)*

I have a daily routine ETL task which is Prefect Deployment A, runs every day at 02:00 am.
Then I have one or more Deployment B’s that should run on a daily basis, if-and-only-if Prefect Deployment A had a successful flow run.

Is it possible to set dependencies between Deployment B and Deployment A?
If so, how?

Thanks!

I think this would be a good application for <https://docs.prefect.io/2.11.3/concepts/automations/?h=automation|automations> or <https://docs.prefect.io/2.11.3/api-ref/prefect/deployments/deployments/?h=run_deploy#prefect.deployments.deployments.run_deployment|`run_deployment`>.  The former would be configured in Prefect Cloud and the latter being in code

Thanks <@U03CAQL1QBB>!
I am using the self-hosted version of Prefect, and not Prefect cloud.

Is there a way to set cross DAG dependencies?
i.e. tell the Prefect server through REST API that Deployment B may start only if there was a previous successful flow run of Deployment A? or something along these lines?

Perhaps setting a trigger for Deployment B or an event-driven runs

Not sure about that, anyone else got an answer?

I think what <@U02EBC3N05N> mentioned yesterday is applicable here, by using an `on_completion` hook :slightly_smiling_face::
