Scheduled Emails in campaign builder not sending?

Hi!



I’ve been trying to set up a Drip Feed email campaign in the builder.

The general idea is that when a new lead submits a form to us, they get added to a smartlist and they instantly receive the first email in the drip feed. The remaining emails are scheduled to be sent out every few days from that point.

I’ve attached an image of how the campaign builder has been set up below.



The problem I’m encountering during testing is that none of the ‘scheduled’ emails are ever actually sent!

When I sign up a dummy registration, I get added to the smartlist and I receive the first email straight away, but I never receive anything else.

(For testing purposes, I change the ‘days’ of the drip feed schedule to ‘minutes’, so I should receive all the scheduled emails within minutes rather than days.)



I can see from the event history on my dummy lead that all the right events are triggered, and all the emails are ‘scheduled’ to send. (I’ve also attached images of some of the event history below.)

They just don’t appear to get sent to me.



I think all the cron jobs are set up correctly. The first one is is set to trigger every 2 minutes. Does this look right?



*/2 * * * * php /home/martinpr/public_html/mautic/console mautic:campaigns:trigger --env=prod

*/15 * * * * php /home/martinpr/public_html/mautic/console mautic:campaigns:update --env=prod

*/15 * * * * php /home/martinpr/public_html/mautic/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod





Could there be a problem with how the campaign is actually set up in the builder?

Any guidance at all would be really appreciated! :)

There is a pull request which should fix your issue. To be sure, you can check Mautic logs if the error messages are the same.

https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/1100

This fix will be available in Mautic 1.2.3 or you can apply the code from that PR to your Mautic and it should work right after that.

Hi Escopecz,
Thanks for the reply and this looks like it will be the solution. I’m just a bit stuck as to how to apply it? What should I do?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

The pull request shows what lines in what files has been changed. You can apply the changes line by line or wait for release of 1.2.3.

I use hawkhost shared hosting

Your cron is still not working. The output is just a list of Mautic’s commands. Do you have SSH access? If so, take the command

php /home/theadve1/public_html/mautic/app/console mautic:leadlists:update

and execute it. What is the output?

Also, you have this in your crontab:

... env=prod> ...

Maybe there have to be a space, doesn’t it?

... env=prod > ...

@jamfar we are discussing your issues in the Slack chat. I think it’s not necessary to discuss it here as well.

Ok. And so far still not resolved
