Auto Email When Payment Received

[Ken Ng]

Hi guys,

 

How do I make automated email sent when payment received and service has been approved and activated instead of running cron? Right now when my customer purchase, I have to run cron. Then email will be sent to customer about approved and activated.

 

Please advice.

cron runs every 5 minutes but haven't had any issues so far with that. We state in the welcome email to wait 5-10 minutes.
If you want a email you can get it via my info > notices.

Did you not setup a cron job on the server to run every 5 minutes? Your web hosting provider may have an interface you can access that makes it easy to setup a cron job.

Copy your cron command from Settings > System > Automation to a file called something like blesta-cron.txt Make sure the path to PHP is correct. It should look similar to this:

 

 

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/username/public_html/index.php cron

 

Upload it to your server. Then, SSH in as the user you want the cron to run as and execute this command:

 

crontab blesta-cron.txt

 

This will create a cron using the contents of the file. Be sure you're in the same directory as you upload the file when you execute that.

 

You can run crontab -l to list your crons after to ensure it's in there.

 

Then, wait 5 minutes and make sure the date updates for last run time under Settings > System > Automation.
