Hey everyone, I am new to prefect! I was wondering, do you need parameters set in the yaml file? or is there a way to get the code to not expect any parameters

Hello, I don't believe you are required to set parameters in your deployment yaml. That's more of an <https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/deployments/?h=parameters#parameters-in-deployments|optional step> if you would like to use certain parameter values upon executing your flow.

Your flow code will only expect parameters if you set them as <https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/flows/#parameters|arguments> within the flow code. This is an optional step as well, and is not required to run the flow should you choose to opt out of using them.
