Is there a way to schedule a playbook run without having any container? Is it possible?

@drew19 A playbook always needs a container, but if you need playbooks to run without an "Alert" creating the container, the Phantom Timer app (here) will create empty containers on a schedule with a selected label defined. Any active playbooks against that label will then pick this up when created and process as per usual.
