Email Procedure Scheduled Process

Question

Hello,
I have a email procedure that works great. My only problem is that I have to manually execute
begin
   email;
end;for emails to populate. I read a Thread that listed a APEX Process function
APEX_PLSQL_JOB.Email (
    p_sql IN VARCHAR2,
    p_when IN DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE + 1,
    p_status IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'PENDING')
RETURN NUMBER;This is not working at the moment. Not sure if I am on the right track. My email is populated based on a Where Statement where  hire_date - sysdate <= 1 and not by a button click form within APEX. Does anyone know how this can be an automatic process that executes daily?

Hey Tony,
I have viewed the DBMS_SCHEDULER but is there any extra code that I have to create?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10802/d_sched.htm#1010185
This is the scheduler that I have
BEGIN
  -- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
  DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
    job_name        => 'test_full_job_definition',
    job_type        => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
    job_action      => 'BEGIN email(''CREATE_PROGRAM (BLOCK)''); END;',
    start_date      => SYSTIMESTAMP,
    repeat_interval => 'freq=daily; byminute=0',
    end_date        => NULL,
    enabled         => TRUE,
    comments        => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
