Hi there, It takes about 10 seconds to complete triggering campaigns which has 1000 emails in default it is processing 100 per batch mautic:campaigns:trigger I want to make it faster because in production there will be lots of emails to be triggered so I tried using max-threads=5 and batch-limit=500 But this is not working and taking same amount of time as before mautic:campaigns:trigger --max-threads=10 --batch-limit=1000 Can you please help? ---

@joeyk here, I want to speed up the triggering of campaigns so that it can put a lot of emails in queue in a minute. How is this possible? Any idea? ---

I was able to send 100 emails per second with 27 threads running concurrently however trigger campaign should match sends as that will put emails in queue. I tried using max thread option with trigger, but it’s not working ---

What do you mean by not working? How fast you wanna send? If you want to so fast I think you should look for another software. Its hurting you more then helping. If you use the campaign action to send email rather then segment email - you will end up in blacklist since Mautic doesnt apply unsub header for campign emails ---

In order to really understand how to speed up your Mautic sending and what the pitfalls are, check these videos: 1. The 1 minute cronjob [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/0/0bc9562b34af41025814bc4c8090ea55addd7d17.jpeg "Smart Segment Processing Script for Mautic") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui-zGW7mYhE) 1. What should you send? Transactional or segment emails?

Thank you very much @joeyk. Very helpful videos to understand Mautic, really good work there. I am also using queue as per your advice for huge emails and I have cron job for email sending which is working great as I have used multiple threads and email sending from queue is pretty fast. Now I also need to speed cron job of campaign triggers. But problem is I dont know how to use multi-threading here. Can you give some examples how we can use maxthread argument for cron job of campaign trigger? Example when I use two commands simultaneously for cron job campaign trigger, the second one gives error as below ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/8/81e339122f4f2cce88904bc69b314e995f02cd19.png) Below are two commands I am using mautic:campaigns:trigger --thread-id=2 --max-threads=5 & mautic:campaigns:trigger --thread-id=1 --max-threads=5 Many thanks ---

You can separate the contacts by ID. minID and maxID. How many contacts you have? ---

@joeyk there are 10k contacts as of now and soon going to be 30-40k I tried following but gives error that other process is running mautic:campaigns:trigger --min-contact-id=1 --max-contact-id=400 & mautic:campaigns:trigger --min-contact-id=405 --max-contact-id=900 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/d/d919245131eaaee299dc449f5594b74a8387d462.png) ---

Hi there, did you end up figuring out how to multi-thread this scenario? ---

Hi Joeyk, thanks for your help, I am running Mautic 6.0.0 on docker and using RabbitMQ, I am able to manage 160 email sent out from RabbitMQ using multiple worker thread but my problem is campaign trigger process where i want super fast speed like 85-100 queue per second, because I want to send 3 lacks email in 1 hour. Can you suggest best approach to achieve this if possible or maximum Mautic limits to create queue? ---

Sure you can do it. Are you using amazon SES to send emails? ---

Thanks for your reply, i am using mandrill, the problem was I have created a custom plug-in which would fetch a placeholder defined by me in email template when preparing the queue the event I used is onEmailGenerate, once I extracted the url from placeholder then I am making a curl request to external api and appending the response back to email template. The external api average response time is 1 sec and this can not be changed, So how can we achieve speed in this scenario. If I remove this external api then i am getting expected speed and it’s seems in control with thread and batch size parameter in campaign trigger command. ---
