Using cron jobs on a shared web service

Your software
My Mautic version is: 5.2.1
My PHP version is: 8.3
My Database type and version is: MariaDB 10.11

Your problem
My problem is: I installed Mautic on a shared web service, as this is the most convenient way for the use I’ll give to Mautic. This shared web service does not give me a console to configure cron jobs, and it does not have cpanel, but it gives me an option to create on a web interface, but in this case it asks me for an “HTTP GET” URL to setup the cron job, and I don’t know what to put there.

Also it looks like this is limited to running the job once a day, but I’ll ask if it can be configured on shorter intervals.
If this can’t be done, I would like to know if there’s a way to manually run the tasks from Mautic itself, as I don’t care to do it manually, as building my own private server only for Mautic it’s not worth the effort for me.

These errors are showing in the log:

I dont think there is a public link to run the console tasks, since that would be a security threat. So if you cannot run a php bin/console command, you are out of luck. Making it manually would mean to log in to a SSH connection and run the command, and I doubt that your provider is offering that.

I was running Mautic for a while on Siteground, since this is a hosting provider with more flexibility, but it is not the recommended approach, and I was reaching my limits there with database size etc. So get a VPS for $5 and start playing there.
