Hi everyone,
I am building a monitoring script for some of my company's deployments. For a given deployment, I want to check if the latest flow run tied to that deployment failed. If so, I would like to schedule the next deployment run. Is there something in the Python SDK that would allow me to check the latest flow run for a deployment or would I have to use the API? An example would also be helpful.

hi <@U05MQ2NTVQS> - the easiest way to do this would be to use the client methods roughly like <https://docs.prefect.io/3.0/manage/interact-with-api|this>

another way to think about this would be to have a <https://docs.prefect.io/3.0/automate/events/automations-triggers#trigger-a-deployment-when-a-customer-completes-an-order|trigger> on this deployment that looks from `prefect.flow-run.Failed` events from runs of its own deployment
