Is it possible to run a flow from command line and have the run show up in the web UI?

Hi @jack - no that's not possible right now unless you create a file that will make an explicit call to the API like this: 
mutation {
  create_flow_run(...args) {
    id
  }
}
Ah I'm sorry @jack I misspoke, you can run a flow via the CLI using this: 
prefect run cloud --name "My Flow Name" --project "Hello, World!"
But the flow will need to be registered and you'll need to have an agent running still.

@nicholas if we are using a standalone server, do we still use the 
cloud
argument?

It might be server
prefect run flow --name Test-Flow --project My-Project -ps
@jack AFAIK that’s the correct one
