The Scheduled Jobs Module in MokoCRM allows automated execution of background tasks at defined intervals, using the system’s cron scheduler. These jobs handle recurring maintenance, alerts, billing, email processing, data synchronization, and other time-based automation. Setup may require server-level configuration—contact Moko Consulting for assistance.

⚙️ Cron Job Setup (Server Side)
- Add the following line to your system crontab (adjust path as needed):
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/mokocrm/htdocs/public/cron/cron.php - Ensure the PHP binary path is correct and executable
- Use
cron_run.phpinstead if running from a browser-accessible context
🔐 Access and Logging
- Only admin users can manage scheduled jobs
- Execution logs available under Home → Admin Tools → Logs
- Each job shows last run, duration, status, and output
📌 Best Practices
- Set cron to run every 5–15 minutes for time-sensitive automations
- Disable jobs that are no longer needed to reduce load
- Use job notes and categories to keep tasks organized
- Monitor logs periodically for errors or incomplete runs
- Coordinate with Moko Consulting to add custom scheduled jobs or script extensions
