Instead of the lambda workflow, you could just stick it on a server in a cron job. I pretty much do that with a bunch of things on DigitalOcean, although there's a ton of comparable services.

ah okay, thanks. Yeah I think I may have over-complicated things by trying to use lambda. Will look into doing this on DO

Since your code is already hosted on GitHub you could also try using GitHub Actions with a scheduled trigger. https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/refe...

If you already made an AWS account, the t2.micro EC2 will work as well, free tier!
