Yes, you can. In fact for those clients that have their own class of ITSM that don't expose some kind of endpoint to send a webhook, we end up using scripted calls to the problems feed via tasks / cron

We use cron for all sorts of automation with Dynatrace API...

Some examples that come to mind:

Producing reports is the main reason I use cron&Dynatrace API.
Getting data from other systems and injecting into Dynatrace.
Storing data for future reference & compliance reasons.
Activating&Deactivating OneAgents.
