I have set up a simple campaign as follows (really my first “test”). Fill in form with select with 2 options (a,b) a = need help b = interest These are being filtered correctly into lists using the list filter and a cron job. However my campaign is not doing what it should. ![mautic_campaign.png](http://teamtmedia.com/images/mautic_campaign.png) Please ignore the negative route as I have not finished editing but my test is positive. I have tested the email setup in configuration and the test email fires perfectly. My cron job is Code: /usr/bin/php5-cli [s][i]/pathto/mautic[/i][/s]/app/console mautic:campaigns:trigger --env=prod \>/dev/null 2\>&1 My leadlist cron is firing perfectly with the same parameters so I'm confident it isn't my cron job (and I have had it firing the emails and it showed that it didn't have to do anything). Thoughts? ---

`[s][i]/pathto/mautic[/i][/s]` doesn’t look like a real path to your Mautic instance. ---

No, it’s not. I was actually trying to embed html in the code there…didn’t work. I was trying to show that I had substituted back in your “pathto/mautic” addressing logic. The path is good, it is working on all the other cron jobs. I don’t think this is cron related…more user error. ---

A bit of RTFM and a bit of WTFM. Once I went to the CRON job list I found the email push cron…of course this worked. I don’t remember seeing it in the email section or in the set-up. Surely the email push is moderately standard? Your call, its just this is where I got caught up.
