I have a flow that periodically checks a $thing for some $state. If the check fails I need to run a registered flow. What is the most elegant way to schedule a flow run from within another flow? Writing a query like the

run.py

from the CLI code?

client = Client()
    result = client.graphql(query)

I don't want to use

prefect run server …

from a shell task. I like it pythonic https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/client/client.html seems perfect. But it states

Client for communication with Prefect Cloud

On the other hand: prefect CLI uses the

Client

class for non-cloud schedules as well… 🙂

Im pretty sure

Client

works with prefect server as well. It’s probably just the documentation that is not updated, since prefect server is a more recent addition than prefect cloud. That being said, check this out: https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/tasks/prefect.html#flowruntask Implicitly uses the

Client

of your flow to trigger a flow run via graphql.

that's perfect. thank you very much.
