How to properly organize the task schedule?

Question

linux

Good afternoon.
There is a service that organizes the sending of mail at a given time. Accordingly, the time is set by the user. What is the right way to call the script to send at the right time?
That is, checking with a crown every minute for the time of sending, probably a stupid option?
Maybe there are more rational solutions?

Google towards the queues.
Depending on what you use on your backend, the same laravel has a queue mechanism.
