How do I create a program that can schedule recurring dates

AdamU

Hi all,

I'm trying to build an application where the admin is able to schedule a program to recur based on the days of the week and the time.

For instance, every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 7 am, there is a breakfast offer.

Could I get some help in building this? Such as how the database and API should be designed?

Thanks :D

Hi @AdamU - This is a perfect candidate for a background task (https://docs.xano.com/xano-features/tasks). Background tasks allow you to schedule logic on a recurring basis. You could run this every 24 hours at 7 am and begin it with a conditional to evaluate if the day is Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday

Hey,

Thanks for the quick response.

Do you happen to know how the database would be structured? What columns would I need to set this up?

Thanks

Will the breakfast offers be the same or different each day?

Hey,

They will be the same
