Hi guys, i have a question. Is it possible to start another flow, once a task in another flow is completed. For illustration :-

Flow A
Task 1 &gt; Task 2 &gt; Task 3

Flow B (once Task 2 in Flow A is completed on success, run Flow B)
Task 1

Yep! You can use the `create_flow_run` task and set it as a downstream of task 2 <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/tasks/prefect.html#create-flow-run>

See also <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/flow-runs/creation.html#task>

By using create_flow_run, does that mean a new flow is created everytime the parent flow runs? Or the flow_id &amp; flow_name parameter in  create_flow_run is used to look up on an already registered flow and run it?

The flowid/name are used to look up the registered flow and create a run that an agent will submit for execution
