We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hi, I'm trying to setup Next Day Notifications using Cron Jobs in my cpanel.
this is my cmd: php -q /home/miche998/public_html/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api&call=/notifications/scheduled/send
though I get this error:
Could not open input file: /home/miche998/public_html/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api
Do you have setup instructions for doing this?
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for getting in touch.
It depends of your server you will need to have separate settings on your hosting provide (cPanel for settings this up)
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 how to set up cron at this link.
If you are not familiar with this you can use plugin WP Crontrol for creating cronjob.
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:
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 link "Manage Cron Schedules". You will find example how you can make custom interval inserting:
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 field that are described above. After clicking on "Add PHP Cron Event" it will be added on Event table and you are done.
If you have any confusion about this feel free to ask us, and we will help you.
Best regards.
