Hi < satyapal reddy> could you tell me more about the application

satyapal reddy · Answer

we are creating a work management platform we want to use prefect for automations

Kevin Kho · Answer

Yes there have been some people here who use Prefect to back an app You have a REST API that then gets hit and triggers a new flow run for example You can also have background processes running with Prefect

Kevin Kho i also want to know whether can we create webhook kind task in prefect By webhook I mean ability to subscribe a url wait for call back etc

Kevin Kho · Answer

Like you build the API and you can create a flow with `Client create flow run`

Kevin Kho · Answer

You would need to poll like every minute or something to check the state of that dependency from inside a task

Kevin Kho · Answer

Otherwise you can make the flow event driven For example S3 bucket gt lambda gt create Prefect flow
