How do I call a function at a specific time of a day?

I need to call the studentUpdateAttendanceStart action 10 minutes before a course's endDate. How can I do that?. The code below is what I currently have but the student needs to refresh the page. When I included allowAttendanceUpdateAfter, courseDocId, endDate, id, now, startDate, student, studentTimestamp, and studentUpdateAttendanceStart inside useEffect's dependency array useEffect got called multiple times because I was passing the now variable.

What I'm trying to do: If a course starts at 10:30am and ends at 11:30am, from 11:20am to 11:30am, first check if the student.attendanceStatus is not empty and if the time is between 11:20am to 11:30am. Then check if student has been logged in for at least a certain amount of time to mark them as present else mark the student as absent. What is the best approach to this?. The code that I currently have works but the student needs to refresh the page.

const now = moment().toDate(),
    allowAttendanceUpdateAfter = moment(endDate).subtract(10, 'minutes');

useEffect(() => {
    if (
      now >= allowAttendanceUpdateAfter.toDate() &&
      now <= endDate &&
      !student.attendanceStatus.length
    ) {
      if (allowAttendanceUpdateAfter - startDate < now - studentTimestamp) {
        studentUpdateAttendanceStart(courseDocId, {
          ...student,
          id,
          attendanceStatus: 'Present'
        });
      } else {
        studentUpdateAttendanceStart(courseDocId, {
          ...student,
          id,
          attendanceStatus: 'Absent'
        });
      }
    }
  }, []);
