@Marvin Can tags be used with flows and not just tasks?
m
Yes, you can use tags with flows in Prefect. While the results I found don't explicitly discuss tagging strategies for flows, they do indicate flexibility and a wide range of features for flow creation and management, which suggests that the ability to use tags with flows is supported. For more detailed information regarding this, I suggest consulting the Prefect documentation, particularly the section that discusses flows and their properties: Prefect Flows If there's a specific use case or example you'd like to know more about, I can perform a more targeted search or provide you with a relevant code snippet.

hmmmmm
@Marvin How do I trigger an integrated notification from a flow and not a tag?
m
To trigger integrated notifications from a Prefect flow, you can make use of various supported notification channels such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Opsgenie, PagerDuty, Twilio (for SMS), and email (if you have your own server). Notifications in Prefect Cloud are enabled using the Automations interface to respond to flow run state changes and work pool status. Here's how to configure a notification on a Prefect server: 1. Go to the Notifications page. 2. Select "Create Notification" or click the "+" button. 3. Choose the run states which should trigger a notification. 4. (Optional) Use tags to filter which flow runs the notification applies to; however, this is not required if you want to trigger notifications without them. 5. Decide how to send the notification (e.g., email, Slack message, etc.). For Slack notifications, you will require webhook credentials for your Slack workspace and specify the channel to which the message is sent. Similarly, for email notifications on Prefect Cloud, you need to provide the email addresses for delivery. Please find more details in the Prefect documentation on how to configure notifications in Prefect.
