Answer 1

Answer 2

To send email from a node-cron script, you'll need the nodemailer npm package. Following that, you must configure your email by importing the package into your node-cron file and specifying the sending details for your message, a transporter, and mailoption:

    var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
   service: 'gmail',
    auth: {
           user: 'yoursendingmail',   
          pass:'yoursendingpassword'              
         },
        const mailOptions = { 
                  from: '[email protected]', 
                  to: '[email protected],          
                  subject: 'sub here',  
                  html: '<p>text here</p>'}
 };)

after, you set up the node-cron like this:

cronJob.schedule('10 * * * * *', () => {
  transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (err, info)
    {
      if(err){}
      else{}//can log info here if email is sent
    }
})
