Scheduled e-mail tasks
In the Email Tasks list you set the name and the schedule of a background task that processes documents arriving by e-mail.
The Email Tasks list is a simple master table: each row holds the name, schedule and status of a background task that processes documents arriving by e-mail. The detailed processing settings of a task belong to another module.
Adding or changing a task
- Open Email → Email Task.
- For a new task click the + button at the top right; for an existing one click the pencil icon in its row.
- Enter the Task Name.
- Type the schedule into Cron Expression. The default is once a day at midnight (0 0 * * *).
- Set the Status and click Save.
Good to know
- The list shows 10 rows per page and can be sorted by name and status.
- The fields are not validated: an invalid schedule can be saved too, so type the expression carefully.
- Deleting takes effect immediately after confirmation.
Example
You want the task "Process incoming invoices" to run on weekdays at 6 am: type 0 6 * * 1-5 into Cron Expression.
