Scheduling a report at a specific time to run

I have a report that must be run automatically (which means I do it right now) daily at a specific time. I cannot set a subscription on this because subscriptions cannot be fired at specific times (something I wish could be scheduled).

Is there a way using an automation or Pipeline to automatically schedule a report to run daily?

    I was told by a Quick Base staffer that it was not possible using Pipelines (and of course, Automations are not scheduled by the time, only the day), because there is not an API to fire a Subscription.  However, there is a URL visible when you click to Send a Test Subscription, so I'm thinking maybe it would be possible to trick the Webhook Channel into treating that as an API.

    Armed with confidence from attending those recent Pipelines Virtual sessions (which I think are now posted in Quick Base University) I hope to find time to test later this week.

      Have you had a chance to test this ?

        I gave it a try but I was unsuccessful.  But I will have a chance later this week to ask the question again on a call with some Pipelines experts.
