Under scripts in package.json I have the following.

Is there a way to trigger this particular npm script on a NodeJS app deployed on Heroku.

Solution 1:[1]

Yes:

$ heroku run npm run refresh

Solution 2:[2]

Per the Heroku Node.js Documentation, you can add pre and post install scripts. In addition, you can add scripts that can be triggered by environment variables.

Solution 3:[3]

You can also do this using only the browser; Just log in to manage your app in the heroku dashboard (https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/[app_name]) and there click on the right side of it: More > Run console

Then you can run any command: command line in heroku
