CRON JOBS

info

Vercel Cron Jobs provide a mechanism to schedule and automate repetitive tasks within your Vercel deployments. They allow you to define specific times or intervals at which Vercel will trigger an HTTP request to a designated API endpoint or Vercel Function within your project.

Cron jobs inside your app

Since we are using Subscription system inside our app, therefore we need a automation to track the user subscription details to upgrade or downgrade user according to subscription info.

This automation system can be easily acheived by using Vercel built in CRON JOBS functionality.

Enabling CRON JOBS

Follow below steps:

• Login to vercel dahboard.

• Slect your app project.

If there is no /api/check-subscriptions like path you can see, that means that your CRON JOBS automation is not configured correctly and likely it is at source code side.
