Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a way to schedule a deployment run manually . To give you more context I have created a flow and a deployment . I want to trigger the flow to run inside the deployment manually instead of a schedule which has a timeframe to specify for the execution . How do I achieve an on-demand deployment run with prefect . P.S: I'm using the open-source version

If you don't provide a schedule in your deploy command you will be able to run it manually as you are describing. I use Prefect Cloud but it should be the same..

Thanks @Tyson Chavarie . But how do you trigger the deployment run manually with custom parameters is it an API call or do we have any SDK functions which can do those because I searched the docs but didnt find any. Just saw a manual trigger on the UI.

yeah for manually triggering I would use the UI. You can pick customer run when you click the play button and it lets you configure some additional parameters..not sure if this works in OpenSource version

hi @Sam Joel - you can use

run_deployment

like

from prefect.deployments import run_deployment

my_deployment = "my-flow/first-deployment"

flow_run = run_deployment(
   name=my_deployment,
   parameters={"answer": 42}, # assumes `my_flow` function accepts an `answer: int`
   scheduled_time=datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1) # start in an hour
   # timeout = 0 # if you don't want this to wait for the triggered flow run to finish
)

assert flow_run.state.is_completed(), f"{flow_run.name} did not complete :("

Thanks @Nate this is what I was looking for .
