Prefect Community

Hi team, I would like to create a webhook that an external application would call that triggers a Prefect deployment to run. This deployment takes in one parameter 'company_code', which is a string. I think based on the docs, I should create an automation that the webhook would trigger. Can you give a walkthrough of how I would pass the 'company_code' parameter from a webhook to an automation?

Hi Alex. Yep! Here’s a <https://www.prefect.io/blog/event-driven-flows-with-prefect|blog post> that walks through getting a value from a webhook and using it as a deployment parameter.

And <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khVS5M3QY54|here’s a video> where I walk through the same pattern.

With recent enhancements, you can now pass data of most any type into the parameters.
