How to schedule Call Broadcast

[Mikeme]

i did searching in https://docs.fusionpbx.com/en/latest/applications/call_broadcast.html
and there is only one mention for that:
Uses sched_api to schedule an API call in the future. Is used to schedule calls to
the provided number/extensions and send them to the extension an IVR Menu,
Conference Room, or any other number. Could be used among other things to schedule a Conference.

Can someone share more info about it?

I think you will want to research sched_api and sched_broadcast. Also dissect the call broadcast code and the school bells code.

In the past I had used school bells to call am extension or a ring group. When an extension answers they would hear a recorded message. What exactly are you wanting to accomplish?

School bells uses a cron job that runs every minute of every hour of every day, so can you share more on your comment about "cron cannot run because of auth"?

the final point is to have the option to set daily auto dialer (same as call broadcast) to few external numbers and when they answer, transfer to an IVR.
call broadcast answer the request but there is no option to schedule the call broadcast

It looks like call broadcast is nearly there for your desired functionality. I would then dig through that code to build your own cli command to schedule the calls.
