If you’ve ever wrestled with managing cron jobs for your Mautic instance, the new open-source Scheduled Jobs plugin from Topchunks might just become your new best friend. This plugin lets you control cron jobs directly from within Mautic’s user interface — no more bouncing between server terminals or guessing if your jobs ran properly.
Here’s what it does: you can set different intervals for campaign-related cron tasks, enable or disable scheduled jobs on the fly, and even see detailed logs for every cron execution. On top of that, it gives you granular control over when your data syncs with CRM integrations, which is a huge time-saver if you’re juggling multiple systems. Basically, it automates the routine stuff so you can focus on your marketing.
While Topchunks sells this plugin for $250, they’ve just open-sourced it, meaning you (or your developers) can now inspect, tweak, and improve it as part of the Mautic community. If you peek at the GitHub repo, you’ll find everything you need to get started, including sample configurations and a demo video showcasing the plugin in action.
This is exactly the kind of practical enhancement that can make running Mautic smoother, especially for those who aren’t super comfortable with server management. Community feedback so far has been positive, with users appreciating the ability to avoid manual cron setups, which can be error-prone and confusing.
In short, if you’ve been frustrated by the technical overhead of cron jobs, this plugin is worth checking out. It’s a neat example of the Mautic community stepping up to simplify real-world problems and sharing those solutions with everyone.
