    Hi Oscar,

    Thanks for reaching out to us. Is the cron job configured via hosting panel (CPanel) or via WPCrontrol plugin? We recommend the second method. Here is how the cron job should be configured, make sure to have the correct notification URL added. 

    Depending on the server, there are different configurations for it, which you can contact your hosting provider about, or you can check out one of the solutions for it on this link.

    Also, you can try this:

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

    Or this:

    */15 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php ~/public_html/wp-cron.php --action='wpamelia_api' --call='/notifications/scheduled/send'

    Or this:

    GET 'https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api&call=/notifications/scheduled/send' > /dev/null

    WP Crontrol plugin is the best option if you're not familiar with cron jobs. You can find more info about it, and detailed instructions on how to set it up in our FAQ section.

    So, if you already read that, and still need some clarification here's some further info.

    You copy only the URL from below a scheduled notification:

    Then, go to Tools/Cron Events, and click on the "Cron Schedules" tab. In it, add a 15-minute interval:

    Then go back to the "Cron Events" tab and click on "Add new":

    Below it, select the "PHP Cron event" radio button, and add the URL you copied from Amelia/Notifications in this form:

    file_get_contents("yourURL");

    Below it add the name and set it to run a few minutes in the future, using the provided time format. So, if you're adding the cron event at 12:45 (local, current time), set it to run at 12:50; and then select the schedule you previously selected:

    Click on Add Event, and that's it.

    The cron runs every 15 minutes and checks if there's an email to be sent. So, in Amelia Notifications, your scheduled notifications are set to run every day at a certain time. If you set that time to be 15:00 (for example), the emails will be sent when the cron runs after that time.

    For example, there's an appointment booked for tomorrow, and it's currently 14:44 - the cron runs, but since it's not yet 15:00, it doesn't send anything. It runs again after 15 minutes, so at 14:59, but there are still no emails flagged by Amelia, so it doesn't send anything. Then it runs again at 15:14 and it sees there's an email that should've been sent at 15:00, so it sends the email. It will only send emails when Amelia sees an appointment scheduled for the next day.

    I hope that helps.

    Kind Regards,

    Stefan, thanks so much for your quick reply!

    Also thanks for the hint, the problem was because I had a security plugging which didn't allow me to use the WP Crontrol plugin correctly and did not show the PHP option for security editing reasons. so i deactivate the security plugin and is all good !

    Thanks so much for your help appreciate it, have a good one!
