Programmatic API

scheduler exposes bp.scheduler.add and bp.scheduler.remove functions as public API so that it can be used within other packages:

await bp.scheduler.add({ 
  id: 'Test Notification',
  schedule: '2018-06-30T18:00:00.000Z',
  action: `bp.notifications.send({ level: 'success', message: 'Schedule triggered successfully' })`,
  enabled: true, // true by default
  scheduleType: 'once' // 'once' by default
})
await bp.scheduler.remove('Test Notification')
