Hi there,

just installed the newest Mautic on my hoster and trying to get everything running.  
I just set up all cronjobs like written in the documentation and in an youtube Video i learned that maybe (?) Mautic 5 doesnt need any cronjobs ? I am a little confused. Can someone tell me if i need to set up Cronjobs or not?

Right now i have the problem that scheduled emails are not send out - only direct sends.

thx

Ender

Yes, you do need cronjobs.  
Here is a short generic tutorial:

Thx a lot. That helped me. Now i also understood that the cron jobs are needed as a preperation before the deamon consumes the emails. After doing some experiments i think i will be able to set it all up correctly. Thx a lot
