Scheduled jobs (cron)
Run code on a schedule, every hour, every Monday morning, the first of the month. Cron jobs are built in: pick a schedule, describe what should happen, and the platform handles dispatching, retries, and authentication. The classic primitive for weekly reports, daily digests, expiration nudges, and any recurring automation.

Real-world patterns that combine this primitive with others.
Abandoned checkout recovery
When a customer reaches checkout but does not complete the purchase, automatically email them a friendly reminder within a few hours, and a follow-up the next day. Typical recovery rate: 10-20% of abandoned orders convert.
Subscription expiration nudge
When a paid subscription is approaching renewal or expiration, automatically remind the customer 7 days out, 3 days out, and 1 day out. Friendly tone for renewals, urgent tone for expirations. Catches churn before the card declines.
Daily customer digest
Each morning, send every active user (or the ones who opt in) a personalized email summarizing what changed in your app for them since yesterday. Powerful for marketplaces, social apps, content platforms, and anything where activity drives return visits.
Monthly investor & partner update
On the first of every month, send a polished update to your investors, advisors, and partners. The numbers come straight from your database (revenue, growth, retention, key wins). You add the narrative; the rest writes itself.
New-signup welcome drip
A timed sequence of emails (and optional push notifications) that fires automatically when a new user signs up. Welcome them, walk them through key features, and nudge them at the right moments before they go cold.
Weekly admin report
Send yourself (or your team) an automated Monday-morning email summarizing last week: signups, active users, revenue, top performers, and survey results. Archives a copy to private storage so you build a running history.

Outbound email & AI rewrite
Sending email is built in: both the automatic emails your app sends (like receipts and password resets) and marketing campaigns. AI can rewrite your copy on demand for better results. There's no mail server to set up and nothing to configure; DontCode handles delivery.
Push notifications & in-app notification center
Push notifications and an in-app notification center ship with every project. Subscribers self-manage; the platform handles subscription tokens, delivery, and badge counts. No FCM/APNS setup required.
