One-time scheduled triggers

At the moment, MongoDb offers the ability to schedule triggers periodically using Cron Jobs. It would be really handy if a user could schedule a trigger to run only once and execute a function as my use-case requires.

    Hi there - have you considered using a Webhook (https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/services/configure/service-webhooks/) or one of our SDKs (https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/functions/call-a-function/#call-from-a-client-application)? Depending on where you're calling it from, one of these approaches will let you invoke a Realm function on a need-based basis.
