This app schedules a cron job in Cloud Foundry to trigger the email sending functionality of the meeting room app, found here. It is created with the 18F cf-cron app which can be found here.
It's a node app which triggers a bash script at 8am every morning. The bash script uses curl to make a POST request to the meeting room app. This triggers the sending of reminder emails.
The app expects a bound service holding credentials, which can be used within the app. The creds prefix used in the crontab.yml denotes that the parameter will evaluate to a variable held by this bound service.
First, the bound service needs to be created as below, replacing {{AUTH_TOKEN}} with the auth token used in the meeting room app.
cf cups meeting-rooms-cron-creds -p '{"token":"{{AUTH_TOKEN}}"}'
Now push the app to the same space as the meeting room app, but don't start it.
cf push --no-start meeting-rooms-cron
As the app presents no API endpoints, the health check will fail and the app will be terminated. To fix that, it needs to be set to not require a health check.
cf set-health-check meeting-rooms-cron 'none'
Now start the app.
cf start meeting-rooms-cron
