Hi everyone — I’m have a flow that I want to run just one, immediately after I deploy it — is there a way to specify that on a schedule? I’m thinking about a `Schedule(clocks=[DatesClock([ pendulum.now() ])])`  but I think the lag between running this and registering/deploying the flow would make it so that it doesn’t run, and I’m hesitant about hardcoding an “add 10 minutes” or something to it as doesn’t feel very robust

Hey <@U020NQGNUJW>, I think you can use the Client and GraphQL API to create a flow run and put any datetime that has already passed and it will run as soon as possible.

```query = """mutation {
    create_flow_run(input: { 
    flow_id: "5ac80adc-442a-4e53-bc01-d9d65bffd6aa"}) {
        id
    }
    }"""```
