@Marvin give me an example of a flow configuration in a prefect.yaml file that contains the schedules parameter

To define a flow configuration with a schedule in a

prefect.yaml

file, you can specify a

schedules

section. Here's an example of how you might set it up:

yaml
name: my_flow
description: A simple flow with a schedule
version: 1.0

schedules:
  - type: Interval
    interval: 600  # seconds
    start_date: "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
    timezone: "America/Chicago"
    active: true

In this example, the schedule is set to run the flow every 10 minutes, starting at midnight on January 1, 2026, in the America/Chicago timezone. You can choose from different schedule types like

Cron

,

Interval

, and

RRule

depending on your needs. For more details on creating schedules and other configurations, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on adding schedules.

@Marvin modify the schedule to use cron instead of interval

Here's how you can modify the schedule to use a

Cron

schedule instead of an

Interval

schedule in your

prefect.yaml

file:

yaml
name: my_flow
description: A simple flow with a cron schedule
version: 1.0

schedules:
  - type: Cron
    cron: "0 * * * *"  # Every hour on the hour
    timezone: "America/Chicago"
    active: true

In this example, the flow is scheduled to run every hour on the hour using a cron expression. You can adjust the cron expression to fit your specific scheduling needs. For more details, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on adding schedules.
