I am using wordpress.

I need to run a function (send a email) when a scheduled post is automatically posted.

I think you need to use the hook transition_post_status, from the documentation:

transition_post_status is a generic action that is called every time a post changes status.

And on https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/100657 I found piece of code that can you use as inspiration.

Use post status transition hooks

function scheduled_post_published($object) 
{
    // whatever it is you need to do
}
add_action('future_to_publish', 'scheduled_post_published');
