How could I allow users to schedule sending emails at a specific interval? (self.programming)

Cross-posted from "How could I allow users to schedule sending emails at a specific interval?" by @lena@gregtech.eu in !learn_programming@programming.dev

Basically, I'm trying to figure out how I could allow a user to send a schedule in the cron syntax to some API, store it into the database and then send an email to them at that interval. The code is at gragorther/epigo. I'd use go-mail to send the mails.

I found stuff like River or Asynq to schedule tasks, but that is quite complex and I have absolutely no idea what the best way to implement it would be, so help with that is appreciated <3

try robfig/cron or gocron

they are much more simple and you can directly use the cron syntax.
