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.
