Is there an equivalent to sensors in Prefect? How do I trigger event-driven workflows?

There are a couple of ways how you could approach that problem. 1.

If you want to implement something similar in Prefect, you could leverage the RETRY signal to implement such polling. Here is an example checking if “example_file.c…

You would need to install Prefect via pip, write Python code to create your flow, then register to schedule it.

I highly encourage you to try this Prefect 2.0 getting started guide:
