Question

I have a parse-server deployed with Heroku (from my GitHub repo) and hosted by mongoLab. I am attempting to send scheduled push notifications within my app and kue seems to

Here is an example how you can accomplish scheduling this task with kue only once at a specific time in the future: (after 12 hours)

var kue = require( 'kue' );

// create our job queue
var jobs = kue.createQueue();

// one minute
var minute = 60000;

var job= jobs.create( 'parseCloud', {
    alert: 'Hello!',
          badge: 'Increment',
          sound: 'PopDing.caf'
} ).delay( minute * 60 * 12)
  .priority( 'high' )
  .save();



job.on( 'complete', function () {
  console.log( 'renewal job completed' );
} );



jobs.process( 'parseCloud', function ( job, done ) {

      var pushQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);
      pushQuery.equalTo('username', request.params.targetUsername);

      Parse.Push.send({
        where: pushQuery, // Set our Installation query                                                                                                                                                              
        data: {
          alert: job.data.alert,
          badge: job.data.badge,
          sound: job.data.sound
        },   
      }, { success: function() {

        console.log("#### PUSH OK");
        done();
      }, error: function(error) {
        console.log("#### PUSH ERROR" + error.message);
         done();
      }, useMasterKey: true});

} );

// start the UI
kue.app.listen( 3000 );
console.log( 'UI started on port 3000' );
