  You can use node-cron to achieve this.

  https://github.com/kelektiv/node-cron
  
  

  You can see an example here:

  
  https://github.com/payloadcms/public-demo/blob/master/src/server.ts#L35
  https://github.com/payloadcms/public-demo/tree/master/src/cron
  

  
  

  Note: On Pro tier, there are 2 instances of your app. In this case, you may need to do some extra logic to ensure that only one instance runs the cron.
