Question re: cron jobs and sending in the background

edited July 2018 in Using Sendy

Hi I am new to Sendy and I have two questions.

  1. Do I need to setup some sort of cron jobs at my server?
  2. Say I have 10k subscribers, do I need to keep the browser window open when I am sending the newsletter emails or the email sending runs on the background?

Thanks

  • Hi,

    Do I need to setup some sort of cron jobs at my server?

    Cron job setup instructions appears in Sendy where appropriate:

    1. When you are at the ‘Define recipients’ page and you will see the cron job setup instructions note in a blue box at the bottom (screenshot ? http://go.sendy.co/17Opl)

    2. Inside any lists, click on the 'Autoresponders' button at the top right and you'll be shown the cron job setup instructions (screenshot ? http://go.sendy.co/ESxY)

    3. When you're at the import CSV page, you'll see the cron job setup instructions in a blue box (screenshot ? http://go.sendy.co/r44z)

    4. Inside any segments, you'll see the cron job setup instructions in a blue box at the bottom (screenshot ? http://go.sendy.co/3rIYhu)

    Say I have 10k subscribers, do I need to keep the browser window open when I am sending the newsletter emails or the email sending runs on the background?

    Sending is done in the background. You can shutdown your computer.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Ben
