Deploy & configure a pre-built Netlify scheduled function (Node.js, IMAP, REST APIs)

I have a small automated tool already written and ready to deploy. It's a scheduled Netlify function (Node.js, ES modules) that reads tender-alert emails from a mailbox and some news RSS feeds, sends each item to a REST API for screening, and emails a daily digest. The code, config files, and a step-by-step build brief are all done and will be provided. **This is a finish-and-deploy job, not a build-from-scratch job.** I'm not asking you to write the logic — that exists and works. I need someone to wire it up, connect the inputs, deploy it, and confirm it runs cleanly end to end. **What you'll do:** - Set up a dedicated mailbox (Gmail with IMAP + app password) and confirm the function connects to it - Deploy the provided code to a new Netlify site from a Git repo - Set the environment variables I provide (API keys, mailbox credentials, sender details) - Connect an email-sending service (Resend — free tier) and verify the digest sends - Run a live test (trigger the function manually, confirm a sensible digest email arrives) - Hand back a short note on how to maintain it (where to change the schedule, how to add feeds) **Everything is documented.** You'll get a plain-language build brief that walks through each step in order, plus the finished code. If you've deployed Netlify functions before, this is straightforward. **You must be comfortable with:** - Node.js and ES modules - Netlify (Functions, scheduled functions, environment variables, Netlify Blobs) - IMAP email and REST API calls (`fetch`) - Reading a brief and following it precisely rather than rebuilding things your own way **Nice to have:** experience with transactional email (Resend/SendGrid), and with RSS parsing. **Scope boundaries (please read):** - I do NOT need the screening logic changed — it lives in a separate file I maintain - One file referenced in the brief (the screening rubric) is not attached to this ad — it contains commercial criteria I keep private. It's a simple text file the code reads at runtime; I'll provide it directly to whoever I hire so they can add it to the repo before deploying. Nothing in your task changes because of this. - I do NOT need a front end, dashboard, or database — it's a scheduled job that emails a digest - One optional extra (a scrape proxy for some web pages) is genuinely optional; quote the core deploy first and we can discuss the extra separately if needed **To apply, please answer briefly:** 1. Have you deployed a *scheduled* Netlify function before? Link or describe one. 2. From the brief (happy to share before you bid), what's the single most likely point of failure in a setup like this, and how would you check it? 3. Your fixed price and turnaround for the core deploy described above. Applications that don't answer these will be passed over. I value someone who reads carefully and does exactly what's scoped — clean, tested, handed back working.
