run_deployment(name, client=None, parameters=None, scheduled_time=None, flow_run_name=None, timeout=None, poll_interval=5, tags=None, idempotency_key=None, work_queue_name=None, as_subflow=True, job_variables=None) async

Create a flow run for a deployment and return it after completion or a timeout.

By default, this function blocks until the flow run finishes executing. Specify a timeout (in seconds) to wait for the flow run to execute before returning flow run metadata. To return immediately, without waiting for the flow run to execute, set timeout=0.

Note that if you specify a timeout, this function will return the flow run metadata whether or not the flow run finished executing.

If called within a flow or task, the flow run this function creates will be linked to the current flow run as a subflow. Disable this behavior by passing as_subflow=False.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	Union[str, UUID]	The deployment id or deployment name in the form: "flow name/deployment name"	required
parameters	Optional[dict]	Parameter overrides for this flow run. Merged with the deployment defaults.	None
scheduled_time	Optional[datetime]	The time to schedule the flow run for, defaults to scheduling the flow run to start now.	None
flow_run_name	Optional[str]	A name for the created flow run	None
timeout	Optional[float]	The amount of time to wait (in seconds) for the flow run to complete before returning. Setting timeout to 0 will return the flow run metadata immediately. Setting timeout to None will allow this function to poll indefinitely. Defaults to None.	None
poll_interval	Optional[float]	The number of seconds between polls	5
tags	Optional[Iterable[str]]	A list of tags to associate with this flow run; tags can be used in automations and for organizational purposes.	None
idempotency_key	Optional[str]	A unique value to recognize retries of the same run, and prevent creating multiple flow runs.	None
work_queue_name	Optional[str]	The name of a work queue to use for this run. Defaults to the default work queue for the deployment.	None
as_subflow	Optional[bool]	Whether to link the flow run as a subflow of the current flow or task run.	True
job_variables	Optional[dict]	A dictionary of dot delimited infrastructure overrides that will be applied at runtime; for example env.CONFIG_KEY=config_value or namespace='prefect'	None

    Create a flow run for a deployment and return it after completion or a timeout.

    By default, this function blocks until the flow run finishes executing.
    Specify a timeout (in seconds) to wait for the flow run to execute before
    returning flow run metadata. To return immediately, without waiting for the
    flow run to execute, set `timeout=0`.

    Note that if you specify a timeout, this function will return the flow run
    metadata whether or not the flow run finished executing.

    If called within a flow or task, the flow run this function creates will
    be linked to the current flow run as a subflow. Disable this behavior by
    passing `as_subflow=False`.

    Args:
        name: The deployment id or deployment name in the form:
            `"flow name/deployment name"`
        parameters: Parameter overrides for this flow run. Merged with the deployment
            defaults.
        scheduled_time: The time to schedule the flow run for, defaults to scheduling
            the flow run to start now.
        flow_run_name: A name for the created flow run
        timeout: The amount of time to wait (in seconds) for the flow run to
            complete before returning. Setting `timeout` to 0 will return the flow
            run metadata immediately. Setting `timeout` to None will allow this
            function to poll indefinitely. Defaults to None.
        poll_interval: The number of seconds between polls
        tags: A list of tags to associate with this flow run; tags can be used in
            automations and for organizational purposes.
        idempotency_key: A unique value to recognize retries of the same run, and
            prevent creating multiple flow runs.
        work_queue_name: The name of a work queue to use for this run. Defaults to
            the default work queue for the deployment.
        as_subflow: Whether to link the flow run as a subflow of the current
            flow or task run.
        job_variables: A dictionary of dot delimited infrastructure overrides that
            will be applied at runtime; for example `env.CONFIG_KEY=config_value` or
