what's the best way to get a url back to a flow run when running locally? for context I'm trying to include this url inside of an email message I send on flow failure

Hi @Will Milner, you want to include a URL in an email message sent on flow failure?

yes, this is running with the backend server

So are emails successful already, and the problem is getting the URL in? or are emails not working yet?

I have emails sending fine, I just need to include the URL of the current flow that sent the email

Ok I gotcha now. Let me look.

the closest thing I can find is to just get the flow url returned on registration, but not the url to a specific run of that flow

At the moment, I’m not sure this can be done for server because you have access to

flow_id

and

flow_run_id

through the

context

in Cloud. https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/utilities/context.html#context-2

that's the same conclusion I came to, it doesn't seem possible to grab the

flow_run_id

with the server backend

@Will Milner this should be available in Server.

yup it is available in the context object, thanks!

awesome! thanks for telling me @Will Milner
