Hi,

Is it possible to start a cron job trigger based on time what user entered in one of the nodes of real time database? Can someone please point me to the right direction?

Cron jobs are intended for tasks you can schedule in advance. I would suggest looking into Firebase Functions: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/
