Hello is there a way to get a message inserted into a queue

Question

Hello is there a way to get a message inserted into a queue upon the `flow run s success or failure` without using a task Using a task is susceptible to infra issues pre emptible cloud compute nodes etc and hence will miss firing Not sure if there a way to configure each flow to send a status into a AWS SQS or GCS PubSub Or if not have an HTTP api to poll for status for all of the flows in a tenant account Thanks

What is your end goal of sending that to SQS

Without revealing too much of the product roadmap there will be a way to take some action any time something in your orchestration happens e g when the run reaches the Completed state In fact the <https orion docs prefect io ui notifications |Notifications> feature that sends Slack or email notifications on a flow run change state event does exactly that Adding SQS as an example action would definitely be possible but I would be curious to hear about your application of it

Thanks < Anna Geller> so long story short the use case would be we have multiple flows that needs to run sequentially Currently they are running as cron and as you can see it s very inefficient If we can get an event on the completion of flow 1 we can immediately trigger flow 2

Anna Geller · Answer

try concurrency limits for that use case

JK · Answer

Just to clarify Anna flow 1 is distinct from flow 2 completely different flow ie flow 2 is dependent on 1 to finish first

Anna Geller · Answer

for that you can use subflows or the orchestrator pattern check Discourse and docs there are several examples there
