Summary:
We need the ability to run backend functions on a schedule (recurring or at a specific time) directly inside Base44, without relying on external cron services.
Problem:
Currently, recurring tasks (e.g., syncing with CRMs, data cleanup, sending reminders or reports) require third-party cron services. This adds extra cost, complexity, and potential security risks.
Proposal:
Add a built-in Scheduler in Dashboard > Code > Functions that supports:
Cron expression or simple frequency presets (every X minutes/hours/days).
Timezone selection.
Retry policy, timeout, and non-overlapping execution.
Logs and error notifications.
“Run now” option for testing.
Benefit:
Improves developer experience, reduces external dependencies, and enables more reliable, secure automation inside Base44.
Key Use Cases:
Nightly CRM sync
Periodic data cleanup
Scheduled reminders or notifications
Automated reporting
