@Marvin how do I set up an automation based on deployments with certain tags?

You want to automate specific actions based on deployments with certain tags. What version of Prefect are you using?

2.18.0

You can set up automations that trigger based on specific tags applied to deployments. Here’s a high-level approach: 1. Create an Automation: Go to the automations page in the Prefect Cloud UI. 2. Set Trigger Type: Select the appropriate trigger type (e.g., deployment, flow run completion). 3. Filter by Tags: Specify the tags you want to filter by. 4. Define Actions: Add actions that should be executed when the trigger conditions are met (e.g., sending notifications, kicking off other deployments). For detailed steps, refer to: - Automations Guide: Automations - Deployment Guide: Deployments These resources should provide the necessary information to configure automations based on deployment tags.

@Marvin can you show an example json for an automation that triggers on a flow failure with a tag?

Here’s an example JSON configuration for an automation that triggers on a flow failure with a specific tag in Prefect:

json
{
  "name": "Flow Failure Notification",
  "trigger": {
    "type": "state",
    "state": "failed",
    "resource": {
      "type": "flow-run",
      "tags": ["important"]
    }
  },
  "actions": [
    {
      "type": "notification",
      "recipient": "<mailto:your-email@example.com|your-email@example.com>",
      "message": "A flow with tag 'important' has failed."
    }
  ]
}

This configuration: 1. Trigger: Watches for

failed

state events on any flow run. 2. Filter: Applies only to flows with the tag

important

. 3. Action: Sends an email notification when the conditions are met. For more details, check out the Automations documentation: Automations.
