Cron trigger for mutations

[karibertils]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Sometimes I run into a scenario where I have an GraphQL mutation on a remote schema for an action that needs to be run periodically, as well as manually.

Describe the solution you'd like

Hasura could provide a way to create cron triggers which directly run mutations which are already available through Hasura. Normally these mutations only need static or no arguments.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative is to create a web hook that calls the mutation and schedule that. Or create a web hook that does the same thing as the mutation. But this web hook would be unnecessary if Hasura could just schedule mutations directly.

Hey @karibertils - thanks for proposing this solution. Agree this could be a useful enhancement but we do not have a timeline at present for it. Please keep following this Github issue for updates. Also would like to know more about your use of Actions and Remote Schemas in general, would you be interested to get on a brief call?
