Hi :wave:, I am using `prefect.tasks.prefect.create_flow_run` to kick off some tasks. I've noticed that this isn't returning an id for the flow run as documented and instead returning a `Task` object. Any advice on how to access the ids of created runs?

Hi <@U033CC7CY87>, can you show how are you using it? Are you using it inside a Flow?

```with Flow("schedule-run") as flow:
        flow_run_id = create_flow_run(
                        flow_name=flow_name,
                        project_name=project_name, 
                        parameters=data
                    )```

This looks right. How are you trying to use the `flow_run_id`?

I'd like to poll for completion of the task:

```prefect.tasks.prefect.flow_run.get_task_run_result(flow_run_id)```

`get_task_run_result` is meant to be on a task level inside the `flow_run_id`. Do you want `wait_for_flow_run` instead?

<@U01QEJ9PP53> exactly what i wanted :pray:

<@U01QEJ9PP53> if using wait_for_flow_run, can I get the result from the run?

You have to use the `get_task_run_result` but that is a specific task inside the subflow. You should find an example <https://www.prefect.io/blog/prefect-0-15-0-a-new-flow-run-experience/|here>

```ValueError: No task runs found while querying for task runs where {'task': {'slug': {'_eq': 'create_some_data-1'}}, 'flow_run_id': {'_eq': '601f6e54-b2fb-4119-b9c3-1faaf0a00205'}, 'map_index': {'_eq': -1}}

There is a default slug created but you can do. The `slugifying` is kind of aggressive so it happens stuff like -1 or -copy sometimes. The API is the best way to get the slug. I’m not sure if it’s in the UI

Could you give example? Trying to access like this doesn't work as the slug is None:

```with Flow("schedule-run") as flow:
        flow_run_id = create_flow_run(
                        flow_name=flow_name,
                        project_name=project_name, 
                        parameters=data
                    )

        # need slug
        child_data = get_task_run_result(flow_run_id, flow_run_id.slug)```

Ah actually I think if you do `print(flow.serialize())` on the subflow side, you can see the task-slug it was registered with in there

Or this to be cleaner:
`print(flow.serialize()['tasks'])`

And look for the `slug` entries to get the slug
