Flow Runs
Create Flow Run
Create a flow run. If a flow run with the same flow_id and idempotency key already exists, the existing flow run will be returned.
If no state is provided, the flow run will be created in a PENDING state.
For more information, see https://docs.prefect.io/v3/develop/write-flows.
