Which uses the API, but is more convenient =]

Also potentially helpful https://docs.prefect.io/core/idioms/flow-to-flow.html#running-dependent-flows

This is great for triggering the flow from another flow, I might be on an older version where it’s called

FlowRunTask

for executing this kind of trigger from outside of prefect, i would just use the client right?

client = Client()
        flow = client.graphql(query).data.flow

        # verify that a flow has been returned
        if not flow:
            raise ValueError("Flow '{}' not found.".format(flow_name))

        # grab the ID for the most recent version
        flow_id = flow[0].id
        return client.create_flow_run(flow_id=flow_id, parameters=parameters)

how can i get an authenitcated client from outside of prefect context

just pass in api-server and api-token?

The advantage of the `FlowRunTask`/`StartFlowRun` is that you can pass

wait=True

and then the Task will take on the state of the Flow Run it kicked off (

Failed

,

Success

, etc) and you can take further actions based on that if you’d like

but good to know i could sync call it

if i wanted to sync call from outside of prefect (lests say i hav ea python cli script that would trigger a flow, does the client create flow run method have a wait param?
