You can use the cron package: you schedule a job that runs every day at a specific hour (time will be read on the system clock, you'll have to figure it out by yourself for timezones).

Here's an example of a message being sent every day at 8:00 am.

const cron = require('cron');

const channel; // Let's say this is the channel where you want to send it.const job = new cron.CronJob('0 0 8 * * *', () => {
  channel.send("It's 8:00 am.");
});

About the 0 0 8 * * * pattern: its format is second minute hour month-day month week-day. You can find more about cron patterns here.
