Marketing Bot Campaign Queue - Cron Job Setup

This guide will help you set up a cron job to process your Marketing Bot campaign queue on your server. The cron job ensures that scheduled campaigns are executed automatically at the correct time.

  • Your domain name where Marketing Bot is installed

Step 1: Open Cron Jobs in cPanel

  1. Log in to your hosting cPanel.
  2. Navigate to Cron Jobs (usually located under the Advanced section).

  2. Set the cron job to run every minute using the following command:

    * * * * * curl https://yourdomainname.com/marketing-bot/campaigns/queue/worker

Important

Replace yourdomainname.com with your actual domain name. For example, if your domain is demo.artifism.techvill.net, the command should be:

* * * * * curl https://demo.artifism.techvill.net/marketing-bot/campaigns/queue/worker
