Batch class to run everyday

Hi All, 
I have a requirement where I need to write a batch class which will run everyday and will send an email to the owner 1 day prior to the closed date at 8 am pacific time.
Kindly please help me by providing the code for this use case.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Instead of batch, you may use lightning flow. Refer the URL to know more about flows - https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=flow_considerations_trigger_schedule.htm&type=5

Hi Ritu,
Is this going to work even if the records are not getting edited/created?

Yes, create Schedule-Triggered flow.

You need to write an extra class that implements the "Schedulable" interface and calls your batch method. Details of the schedulable interface are here (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_scheduler.htm)

As an overview you would do:


global class scheduledBatchable implements Schedulable {
   global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) {
      batchContactUpdate b = new batchContactUpdate(); 
      database.executebatch(b);
   }
}


And then run some code like:


scheduledBatch sb = new scheduledBatch();
String sch = '0 0 * * *';
String jobID = system.schedule('Batch COntact Update Job', sch, sb);


For further reference, you can check this too,

Let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.

Thanks.
