Hi!

What is the best way to create a scheduled flow with multiple scheduled subflows? Couldn’t find an article or discourse discussion. We are using Prefect Cloud 1.0.

Example of structure:
• Main flow A, run every week, dependant on:
    ◦ Sublow B, run every day, dependant on:
        ▪︎ Sublow C, run every hour
So, if any of subflows fail, all upstream subflows should not start.  Is there a way to do so?

Hi <@U03QVGTD5A9> have you seen this example in our docs? <https://docs-v1.prefect.io/core/idioms/flow-to-flow.html#scheduling-a-flow-of-flows>

Hi! Yeas, I’ve seen that, but it do not cover topic of multiple time-scheduled subflows sadly.

One way of doing it would be creating a flow that runs once every week and schedules other 176 flow for the whole week ahead, using `create_flow_run(scheduled_start_time=&lt;datetime&gt;)` but it looks too complicated and prone to became a mess.
