Deploying

Scheduling Pickups

Our staging and production applications are deployed to Heroku.

We use the Heroku Scheduler addon to run our scheduling-focussed Rake tasks on a nightly basis.

Each night, the scheduler will run the following tasks:

• pickups:schedule - creates ScheduledPickup rows for any active zipcodes without pickups scheduled for the week. This task is idempotent.
• confirmations:request - sends Confirmation Request emails to donors associated with ScheduledPickups scheduled to occur within the next 48 hours.
