You could tell the bot to add the new schedule in your datastore instead.
Then create a single “master” cron job with 1 minute schedule that checks the schedules that you had set in the datastore. The cron job would then determine whether on the current time the handler for an associated schedule need to be invoked or not.
If it does, the master cron job would then invoke the stored job using the
TaskQueue API.
