Execute scheduled tasks (cron job)

In the IT world, this is referred to as a cron job. The cron job is a process in ChurchTools that takes over some administrative tasks in the background.

The following tasks are checked and carried out if necessary:

• General
  • Sending e-mails (this is executed immediately and is independent of the interval set)
• Persons
  • Delete tags that are no longer used
  • Reset the number of failed attempts when logging in
  • Synchronize with MailChimp
• Events
  • Send service requests
  • Send reminder to Roles
  • Inform leaders about open Roles

The cron job is triggered via the following actions:

1. Manually via the Manage menu > Execute scheduled tasks
2. Automatically after the time set in the System settings.
