Hello everyone, Well yesterday I’ve have created a first testing campaign but it just didn’t work and I really don’t understand why. I’ve created a lead, a list, 2 email templates and then the campaign. I’ve published the campaign but it seems to me that it didn’t trigger the email and all the steps in my campaign. Any advice? Just so you know, I tried to send the email manually and it worked well, so I dont’ think the problem is in the mailing service configuration. I have also tried to publich and unpublish the campaign many times but nothing really happened. By the way it’s really easy to create all the stuff…but I’m getting crazy cuz it just doesn’t work. thank you for any information you can provide ---

Hey Gleyve, are you ok? 😃 You need to set up cronjobs to work properly. Check this out - \> [https://www.mautic.org/docs/setup/index.html](https://www.mautic.org/docs/setup/index.html) Bye =D ---

Hmmm…I thought that cron jobs wouldn’t be necessary for immediately send setup as I did. I’ll what you suggested. Thank you so much Tiago…I’ll leave a feedback. ---

I have exact same problem. Spending hours to fix that issue, nothing so far. This was my campaign: Campaign form \> Modify lead’s list (and) Adjust lead points (and) \> Send email Nothing works there. I see leads gathered under Campaign form but campaign was not triggered. Then I created standalone Form and apply same rules: Modify lead’s list - WORKED Adjust lead points - WORKED Send email - NOT WORKED I tested email connection and email came, so no problem with email service (Elastic Emails).đ Anyone? ---

Same problem here. My cronjobs are setup, but no email was send… In the manual way, a no-campagn email was send property. ---

Tips: I have a shared hosting and the only way to make it work was using the commands below with ‘-f’ mautic:campaigns:update mautic:campaigns:trigger so my cronjobs are now like (in this order, exactly): …app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod …app/console mautic:campaigns:update -f --env=prod …app/console mautic:campaigns:trigger -f --env=prod …app/console mautic:email:process --env=prod Hostgator shared server. ---

I’ve created the cron job and it didn’t word as well.

I have to wait the time to the job run and trigger right? I’m waiting, if it doesn’t work I really don’t know…🙂 I my case I setup as every 25 minutes which is the mininum allowed by hostgator as I could understand. ---

@nerdrico Try to search your host support page, at least for me hostgator support page helped me a lot. It’s also important to double ckeck if your campaign workflow is correctly configured cuz even with the correct cron jobs, I realized I had and erros in my campaign workflow. For example: [http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/what-do-i-put-for-the-cron-job-command](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/what-do-i-put-for-the-cron-job-command) [http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/how-do-i-create-and-delete-a-cron-job](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/how-do-i-create-and-delete-a-cron-job) ---

Yeah. I will call to Godaddy tomorrow morning to ask that. About my workflow, I check a lot of times. Change the actions to test, but the problem is really the schedule e-mails. 😕 ---
