Is there a way to create a metric via the api without a profile?

I ask because for my app I want to enable users to create flows based on a metric that my app sends but it seems redundant to have to create a fake profile in order for them to have the metric in their options before they can use the flow.

If someone has insights please let me know. I would love to know. I am using this api endpoint for the metric creation btw:

Hi @talktohenryj!

At this time, all API events/metrics must be assigned to a profile. If anything changes in the future, I’ll make sure to update the thread!

Best,
