Scheduled Emailer

A simple email scheduler that runs on a cron trigger in Val Town.

• Sends emails at scheduled times
• Customizable email content
• Configurable recipient (defaults to val owner)

1. The val has been set up with a cron trigger
2. Important: You need to configure the cron schedule in the Val Town web UI:
   • Go to the val in your Val Town dashboard
   • Click on the "Cron" tab
   • Set your desired schedule using cron syntax (e.g., 0 9 * * * for daily at 9 AM)

You can customize the email content by modifying the DEFAULT_EMAIL object in the code:

const DEFAULT_EMAIL: EmailConfig = {
  subject: "Scheduled Email",
  text: "This is your scheduled email from Val Town.",
  html: "<h1>Scheduled Email</h1><p>This is your scheduled email from Val Town.</p>",
  to: "optional-recipient@example.com" // Remove this line to send to yourself
};

For more advanced use cases, you can modify the code to:

• Fetch dynamic content from an API
• Send different emails based on the day of the week
• Include personalized content
• Send to multiple recipients

If emails are not being sent:

1. Check the val's logs for any error messages
2. Verify that the cron schedule is set correctly
3. Ensure you have permission to send emails from Val Town
