Yes — you can keep a single deployment and add a second schedule with parameters that control which parts of the flow run. Pattern: - Add a boolean (or “mode”) parameter to your flow that gates the daily-only task. - Keep your existing 30‑minute schedule with the parameter set to false. - Add a daily schedule (on the same deployment) with the parameter set to true. Example flow code (Prefect 3.x):

from prefect import flow, task, get_run_logger

@task
def run_dbt_models():
    # your dbt logic here
    ...

@task
def daily_only_task():
    # your once-per-day logic here
    ...

@flow
def store_workflow(run_daily: bool = False):
    logger = get_run_logger()
    # always run your regular tasks
    run_dbt_models()

    # only run this when the schedule sets run_daily=True
    if run_daily:
        <http://logger.info|logger.info>("Running daily-only task")
        daily_only_task()
    else:
        <http://logger.info|logger.info>("Skipping daily-only task")

prefect.yaml (one deployment, two schedules):

deployments:
  - name: store-prod
    entrypoint: workflow.py:store_workflow
    parameters:
      run_daily: false
    work_pool:
      name: your-pool
    schedules:
      - interval: 1800        # every 30 minutes
        slug: every-30m
        active: true
        parameters:
          run_daily: false
      - cron: "0 2 * * *"     # once per day at 02:00 UTC
        timezone: "UTC"
        slug: daily
        active: true
        parameters:
          run_daily: true

Notes: - A single deployment can have multiple schedules; each schedule can provide its own parameters. Schedule parameters override deployment defaults for those runs. - This avoids creating a second deployment and ensures your “daily-only” task runs just once per day while the rest of the flow continues every 30 minutes. - You can manage schedules in YAML (recommended), via the UI, or with the CLI. If you edit YAML, re-run

prefect deploy

. Docs: - Create schedules - prefect.yaml reference Quick question to confirm the branching you want: - On the daily run, should the dbt tasks also run (plus the daily-only task), or do you want only the daily-only task to run? If it’s “only the daily task,” we can add another parameter (e.g.,

mode: "regular"|"daily"

) and conditionally skip the dbt section too. If you paste your current

workflow.py

and

prefect.yaml

, I can tailor the exact edits.
