I’ve been using mautic to capture emails in forms, but I did not have any automation.
I want now to send email sequences.
I’ve setup a test campaign with 4 emails. I’ve entered one test user into the campaign.
But I’m not receiving the emails.
I don’t have access via SSH, it’s hosted in a php hosting where I have access via a web-based file-manager and a web-based mysql-client.
In the crons I call those every 15 mins:
```
mautic:segments:update
mautic:campaigns:update
mautic:campaigns:trigger
mautic:emails:send
mautic:broadcasts:send
```
How can I debug what’s happening behind the scenes? reading the DB maybe? reading some kind of logs?

Hi, there is a debug flag in app/config/local.php
You can set it to true, then inspect log files in var/logs. It might help you with debugging.
