The important one is campaigns:trigger

I set that to run every minute since that one is responsible for sending out emails once someone is added to a segment.

The other cronjobs are not so time sensitive. I’ve set them to 5 minutes. But 30 minutes is ok too.

I set all my cron job to 5 minutes too. It works well so far.

There is a recommendation in the documentation to stagger the firing of these crons so as they dont run concurrently. Hence i was wondering what the best way to stagger them?
