Hello! I'm using GraphQL to run flows. The problem is that the API requires the flow_id, which changes every time I register a new version of said flow. Is there a way to run a flow by name instead of by id using GraphQL?

If you take a look at the docs (here)[https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/concepts/flow_runs.html#creating-a-flow-run] under the

GraphQL

section, there’s a note saying you can provide a

version_group_id

for this purpose. If you assign a consistent

version_group_id

value for each version of your flow, specifying the

version_group_id

during the API call will automatically schedule a new flow run of the most recent version of that flow.

Beat me to it @Alex Cano - and one extra detail, a

version_group_id

is automatically assigned to your flow if you don’t provide one yourself, and the auto-generated one is based on the flow name, so you can query it and use it even if you haven’t been setting them yourself for each version

Great! I'll take a look at this. I don't know how I missed it in the docs. Thanks a lot!
