Hello Javier,

Scheduled notifications require a bit of additional configuration with your server cron scheduler. The command that has to be added can be found on the “Notifications” page when notification that requires scheduling is active. You can recognize these notifications by the clock icon next to the notification name. Copy command and paste it in the cron file. The command looks like this:

*/15 * * * * https://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api&call=/notifications/scheduled/send

You can see the more detailed tutorial of how to set up cron at this link.

If you are not familiar with this you can use the plugin WP Crontrol for creating a cronjob on your website. This is the instructions for using this plugin for setting up a cron for  Amelia:

In the Tools -> Cron Events admin panel, click on the “Add PHP Cron Event” tab underneath the cron event table.

In the form that appears, enter the schedule and next run time in the boxes. The event schedule is how often your event will be executed. In the “PHP code” area, enter the PHP code that should be run when your cron event is executed. Please insert this:

file_get_contents("https://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api&call=/notifications/scheduled/send");

You don’t need to provide the PHP opening tag (<?php).

Please replace “https://yourwebsite.com” with your real web address.

If you don’t see a good interval, then add one in the Settings -> Cron Schedules admin panel or click on the link “Manage Cron Schedules”. You will find an example of how you can make custom interval inserting:

• Interval name
• Interval(in seconds)
• Display name

and click “Add Cron Schedules” and it will be added.

When you made custom interval you need to go back to  Tools -> Cron Events admin panel and click on the “Add PHP Cron Event” tab underneath the cron event table where you will insert that custom interval and all other fields that are described above. After clicking on “Add PHP Cron Event” it will be added on Event table and you are done.

Hello Javier,

And the explanation provided is step by step, in details.

You are welcome, Javier.

 Unfortunately, these crons are not setup in Amelia and this doesn't depend on our plugin, they are set on your server and those plugins like WP Crontrol and similar are created to make this process easier for people who are not familiar with this. But the scheduled notification in Amelia need these cron on your server in order to be sent at some specific time, so you need them on your website for using these notifications in Amelia.
