Can I run Cron Jobs from an external service ?
Hello,
Could you make it possible for us to run cronjobs for autoresponder from an external service for those of us who don't have the option to run cron from the live server every minute (Godaddy Hosting and a couple of others ) ? or is there a cron URL we can request every minute from an external cron service yet ?
Thank you

Hi,
I found a number of cron job service on Google https://www.google.com/search?q=cron+job+service
Here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1305354 and here as well http://www.onlinecronservices.com/
And here https://cron-job.org/en/ (free)
Or try easycron.com, they even have a cron job setup guide for Sendy https://www.easycron.com/tutorials/how-to-set-up-cron-job-for-sendy
You can use an external server to run the autoresponder.php script every minute.
You should use the full URL, eg. http://your_sendy_installation_url/autoresponders.php
And you must use
curlinstead ofphp, eg:*/5 * * * * curl -L -s http://your_sendy_installation_url/scheduled.php > /dev/null 2>&1*/1 * * * * curl -L -s http://your_sendy_installation_url/autoresponders.php > /dev/null 2>&1It's strange that you don't have autoresponder.php on your server, which version are you on? You may want to re-upload the latest version on your server.
