Hi can anybody give me a hint what the GraphQL query in HASURA to start my flow "Hello World" has to look like? This query shows my flows:

query MyQuery {
  flow(distinct_on: name) {
    name
    id
    description
  }
}

Hi <@U013RLTJFPZ> - you'll want to use something like this:
```mutation {
  create_flow_run(input: {flow_id: "hello_world_flow_group_id"}) {
    id
  }
}```
replacing the `hello_world_flow_group_id` with the `flow_group_id` returned by your first query (you can add `flow_group_id` to the body of that query). You can also use the `flow_id`  to target that specific version of your flow.

Hi Nicolas, super! After a while of testing I got something running. But I need to get the idea what actually happens. This is my code:

mutation {
  insert_flow_run(objects: {flow_id: "94260671-b1c8-4201-9056-b4994a5cfd78"}) {
    returning {
      duration
      start_time
      id
    }
  }
}

This is the reaction:

{
  "data": {
    "insert_flow_run": {
      "returning": [
        {
          "duration": null,
          "start_time": null,
          "id": "7cfbcdd0-c05c-4396-9340-e2438e1083ad"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

<@U013RLTJFPZ> curious why you're using `insert_flow_run` instead of `create_flow_run` ?

Because HASURA tells me that there is no command create_flow_run:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "extensions": {
        "path": "$.selectionSet.create_flow_run",
        "code": "validation-failed"
      },
      "message": "field \"create_flow_run\" not found in type: 'mutation_root'"
    }
  ]
}

Hm, that's odd but I'm not a Hasura expert so not sure why that would be. Why are you running these from Hasura?

I think running anything from the Hasura console may interact directly with the db and so will bypass the API entirely... ( I could be wrong but that would explain the behavior you're seeing )

Actually I am looking to use the API out of Node Red. NR has a GraphQL package and I use Hasura to check if the code would work.

Got it. I'd recommend using the InteractiveAPI in the UI instead, that'll give you lookahead and documentation

Just for info :slightly_smiling_face:. It is working! I don't use Hasura anymore! Thanks for your help :+1:
