title: Scheduling events in Ruby on Rails
body: <p>SO sorry if this is a duplicate, I tried searching for this but wasnt sure what search terms to use and didnt really find anything.</p>
  
  <p>I have a Ruby on Rails app that will be used to send text messages out to users that contain a link to a multiple choice question probably using clickatell. The questions have a date and time associated with them. I want to make the ruby on rails app automatically send those SMS messages to the users' phones on those specified dates.</p>
  
  <p>I don't really know how one would go about doing this. Can anyone point me in the general direction of a a way to schedule events like this in ruby on rails. I don't need an exact solution, maybe if someone could just clarify what exactly this is called so I can find some resources on line.</p>
  
  <p>thanks </p>
