Hello team. I would like to implement an alert to be sent or an action to be executed whenever a specific flow runs over SLA duration. So, let's say, if a flow is expected to last at most 2 hours, I would like to send a notification to support group in case 2 hours duration is reached, without cancelling the job. Marvin showed me this <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/13860|GitHub Issue> discussing flow run SLAs including functionality for alerting, cancelling, or pausing deployments when flow runs exceed specified states like `Pending` or `Running` too long. But the issue is not showing any guidance or solution. Any suggestion on how could I approach this?

hey, I would recommend looking at the docs on <https://docs.prefect.io/3.0/automate/events/automations-triggers|triggers and automations>.

If you go to the Automations tab in the UI, you can create an automation to send a notification for when when a flow run stays in a certain state for a certain amount of time.
