App Description

Hi everyone,

I’m building a project using Next.js for both frontend and backend, and I’m facing a challenge with scheduling API calls dynamically. Here’s the setup and the requirement:

1. I have two APIs:
2. /api/callThisEveryDayAt12AM: This API is called daily at a fixed time (12 AM). It fetches a list of unscheduled tasks (e.g., ["2025-12-12T23:21:00Z", "<another-time>", "<another-time>"]) and sends this list to an external service.
3. /api/hitApiByDynamicSchedulerToSendReminderEmail: This API handles sending reminders when triggered by the external service.
4. What I need: I’m looking for an external service where I can dynamically schedule API calls based on the times fetched from /api/callThisEveryDayAt12AM. This service should:
5. Accept the list of times via an API call.
6. Trigger my /api/hitApiByDynamicSchedulerToSendReminderEmail API at the scheduled times.

Does anyone know a third-party service that can handle this kind of dynamic API call scheduling? Or, if you’ve solved a similar problem, how did you approach it?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Project Overview

The post discusses a Reminder App built using Next.js, facing challenges with dynamically scheduling API calls. The app requires an external service to schedule API calls based on times fetched from a daily API call. The main requirement is for the service to accept a list of times and trigger another API at those scheduled times. A suggestion was made to use Inngest for this purpose.
