// Schedule a reminder for 24 hours from now
const hook = await posthook.hooks.schedule({
  path: '/api/send-reminder',
  postIn: '24h',
  data: { reminderId: 'rem_abc123' }
});

Handle the Callback

When the time arrives, we POST to your endpoint with a signed payload. Verify and handle it.

api/send-reminder.ts

// Your endpoint receives a signed payload
export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const delivery = signatures.parseDelivery(
    await req.text(),
    req.headers,
  );
  await sendReminder(delivery.data.reminderId);
  return new Response('OK', { status: 200 });
}

Need more time? Return a 202 and call back with ack/nack when processing completes, up to 3 hours.

Why Not Just Use Cron?

Cron runs on a fixed cadence. Per-user, per-event timing like "remind this user in 24 hours" or "expire this hold in 30 minutes" needs something else.

Cron + DB polling

Posthook

Per-event timing

Poll everything every N minutes. Up to N minutes of drift.

Schedule each action for the exact time.

Retries

Item stays in the pending query. No targeted retry.

Automatic retries with exponential backoff.

Visibility

None. Find out it failed when a customer complains.

Every delivery tracked: status, response, latency.

Alerting

Build your own or don't have any.

Anomaly detection by endpoint. Email, Slack, or webhook.

At 5+ timing concerns

Separate cron job and polling query for each.

One API, one dashboard, one alerting system.

Your first cron job is easy. Your fifth is a maintenance burden. Posthook handles all of them with one integration.
