Scheduler Not Working

Cyberwebby

Hello,

Unless there's something I'm missing, the scheduler is not working. I have tested it several times and it never starts up for the time that I have clearly set, never starts at all. And yes I checked the box for checking/sending because I want it to send, but never works.

Sven

hmm this works for me, what have you set there? Can you send a screenshot?

Cyberwebby

Not much to set, just the basic settings. Anyhow I went ahead and included a screenshot.

I am supposed to actually see the campaign start up at the specified time (actually see it running) - or does it run in the background or something? If so, that might explain it things right there.

Sven

You have that project running right? Because it will not start itself.

Cyberwebby

Well if it won'tstart itself, then what's the use of scheduling a start time?

Sven

You run that project and it would sit there on pause waiting for the right time to actually start the work.

Cyberwebby

Ok well if I want this to run automatically on a daily schedule, do I have to press the start button every day just to active the project and get it to start?

Sven

If you keep it running, it will start/stop automatically. Though you need to have it running at least.

Cyberwebby

So I see in the scheduler it requires me to put in both a start as well as a stop time, but how do I really know when a stop time should be? What if I just want it to start on a set schedule and just run that batch until the links are complete, and then automatically start back up when the time rolls back around again for it to start.

Sven

well, you need to do some manual work then.

Just set your start time and set your end time to 23:59 and it will run till the quantity you set is hit for the day or till the day ends and then start back up again at the start time.
