My idea is:  
**Creating a page in the settings-menu to add or remove cronjobs**  
via checkbox ☑︎ and time-fields or cron-field (i.e \* \* \* \* \*)

**Integrate a "testing center"**  
it is often necessary to trigger a campaign by hand to avoid waiting for the next cronjob to run. Therefore it would be great to run each cronjob via play-button manually ▶.

And also the desperately needed **clear-cache button**

I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea:  
Every Mautic User - not Mautic Developers who are willing (or forced) to do everything in the CLI (which definitely is not always the fastest way of doing things)

Why I think they would benefit from this idea:  
Usability, ease-of-use, understanding of Mautic processing and logic

Any code or resources to support this idea:  
Not yet. Just thinking and looking for some people who want to do this

Are you willing to work on this idea?:  
Yes.

What skills and resources do you need to explore this further?  
All knowledge available regarding how we can handle cron-jobs from within the Mautic Webinterface.

Clearing cache from the dashboard is indeed very good idea 🙂

I fully support this.

An example how it looks at Mailwizz:

In additiion the crons have a history, which is really helpful:

Also in MW you can list your cronjobs really easily:

There was a mautic clear cache plugin around fro version 2.x  
Does somebody know the people who built that?

@alexhammer this works with 3.3.4: [Gautit Clear Cache Plugin - GautIT!](https://gautit.com/gautit-clear-cache-plugin/). Not sure if it works with v4 of mautic but likely, since the cache is in the same location as v3.

nice. Thank you Eric.  
I’ll check it out. Maybe we can use this as a base to understand the processes
