HI! The frequency depends on your needs. If you have a very active site where leads are constantly generated, then you may want to have the cronjobs set to be more frequent. It could be every 5 minutes or once a day; it’s really up to you and the needs/traffic of your lead generation. Thanks! Alan ---
