hey guys is it possible to use `create_flow_run` to create a persistent scheduled flow run? Not a flow that runs only ones at a scheduled time but a flow that runs at intervals?

It’s not meant to do that. It’s meant to trigger one quick flow run. If you want a regular interval, then you can attach it through the UI after you register and you can add the schedule to the flow code as you reigster.

Is there a way to make dynamically generate scheduled flow runs? For example, if we want to trigger a flow with varying parameters and varying schedules from an external app

Do you mean there is an event that edits the Flow to add a schedule?

You should make the event register a new flow instead of modifying the schedule because the schedule modification is not scalable. Check <https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1639222449394400|this> thread
