I'm relatively new to Next and wanna know how can I periodically and dynamically trigger a function (e.g., every 2 days, every x days, or on a specific date) in nextjs in the practical way?

are you using vercel? then I would use vercel cron jobs if not inngest could work as well @Pixiebob
basically you set up an API route check the env var got the cron secret if valid then do something on the server ie your function, then theres a vercel.json that points to the route and sets when it should be triggered. Read those docs and ask me any questions.

But cron jobs only for the static interval. What about custom interval or specific datetime?
