[Solved] How to use Vercel Cron Job with T3?

Hey! I am using T3. I am new with TRPC and don't know how to handle Vercel Cron Job. I want to add some data to the database everyday. How do I do that?

vercel.json

{
  "crons": [
    {
      "path": "/api/cron/dailydb",
      "schedule": "0 0 * * *"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "crons": [
    {
      "path": "/api/cron/dailydb",
      "schedule": "0 0 * * *"
    }
  ]
}

Should be once a day I would probably make my own normal api handle with Next like this

api/
  cron/
    dailydb.ts

api/
  cron/
    dailydb.ts

Then in dailydb I would just use a caller from trpc to call the trpc procedure https://trpc.io/docs/server/server-side-calls

if you are using hobby version of vercel, it will be only triggered in prod env. i use serverlessQ
