If you’ve ever wrestled with managing Mautic’s cron jobs via command line or server configs, here’s some good news. A new open source plugin called Scheduled Jobs just dropped, and it’s designed to bring cron job management inside Mautic’s user interface. No more hopping through SSH or tricky server setups.
The plugin, originally a premium offering by TopChunks, is now available openly on GitHub. It lets you control cron jobs directly from Mautic’s dashboard: view logs for each scheduled run, set unique intervals for different campaigns, and toggle jobs on or off without leaving the UI. It even schedules data syncs with your CRM integrations, so you can streamline automation workflows without digging into server crons.
This is a solid quality-of-life improvement for marketers and admins alike. Instead of relying on sysadmins or writing shell scripts, you get a clear interface showing what’s running, when, and with what results. The fact that it’s open source means the Mautic community can jump in, tweak, and make it even better.
Practically speaking, this can simplify campaign triggers, email sends, and other automation events that depend heavily on cron accuracy. If you run several Mautic instances or complicated workflows, having centralized control and logging inside Mautic can save you time and headaches.
It does cost $250 if you want the official plugin with support, but if you or your team are comfortable with community-driven stuff, the GitHub repository is ready to clone and customize: TopChunks/CronSchedulerBundle on GitHub.
There’s also a quick demo video and more info on the TopChunks website if you want to see it in action before diving in.
Worth noting, no major snags or bugs have been reported yet in the wider community. It’s still new but looks stable and well thought out from the initial feedback on the forum. If you’ve struggled with Mautic’s default cron setup, this plugin could be a game changer.
Keep in mind, managing crons inside Mautic doesn’t replace good server maintenance and monitoring, but it adds a neat layer of accessibility. For marketers who want to stay hands-off on the IT side yet keep automation running smoothly, this plugin deserves a look.
