thanks a lot for that great solution.

class EveryJob < ApplicationJob
  queue_as :default

  def perform(time)
if time == 10.minutes
  # do something
else
  raise "#{time} is not supported"
end
  end
end

and then in heroku scheduler:

rails runner "EveryJob.perform_later(10.minutes)"

works great

Re: Heroku Scheduler API ?

[Greg Navis]

It seems the scheduler cannot be manipulated via the API at the moment. I
came up with three workarounds:

1. in your web process, start a thread that will run a one-off dyno to do
the background job in regular intervals (or do the processing in the thread
itself)
2. start a one-off dyno while processing a request - record the time when
the processing was run and if it's longer than 24 hours then run the
processing again (by starting a one-off dyno)
3. define a non-web process type that will do the processing in the
background (this will cost more though)

I absolutely realise that these are hacky, ugly workarounds. Do you think
you can apply one of them to your case? Maybe there are some other
workarounds.

Best regards

No problem, Regan! I'd love to learn how each of these options worked for

Re: Heroku Scheduler API ?

[Regan Starr]

Thanks Greg. 

I can see how that would work for some situations. Unfortunately, I'm 
trying to do something slightly different.

I create small, open-source apps. I recently discovered the Heroku Platform 
API. Using /app-setups 
,
 
I'm able to let people deploy my apps on their own Heroku account with just 
a few clicks.

Many of my apps require a "run this PHP script once a day" type of job. I'm 
trying to eliminate as much configuration for my users as possible.

I know I can include add-ons during the /app-setup process, but I need to 
take it a step further and schedule a job on behalf of my users.

Re: Heroku Scheduler API ?

[Greg Navis]

It seems there's no API (good to know!) but I have a workaround. Maybe
it'll be useful for you too.

I work on a Rails app and have 3 entry point jobs: every_day, every_hour,
every_10_minutes. There are scheduler entries that run rake every_day, rake
every_hour and rake every_10_minutes with appropriate frequencies. Specific
jobs are defined as dependencies of these entry points. This allows me to
change the schedule by editing the code without touching the scheduler at
all.

Will that work for you? What kind of problem are you trying to solve?

How would I use this to run a PHP script?

 Sorry for the delayed response. We updated the docs to mention running

 Anything that works via `heroku run` works via Heroku Scheduler. Just put
 the name of the process type as the 'task in Scheduler. No special syntax
 required. And you can even pass it arguments.

 In case this wasn't obvious, Scheduler can certainly reference elements in
 the Procfile. If you've got a cleanup entry defined, for example, you can
 just set up Scheduler to run cleanup every hour, or whatever.

 Maybe the scheduler should reference a named element in the Procfile?
