Scheduled Tasks

Scheduled Tasks are a set of pre-built scripts that can automate some actions in your store. You don't have to do any coding to use Scheduled Tasks. All you have to do is select a task and decide how often you want that task to run.

All Scheduled Tasks have a manual equivalent. That is, somewhere in the admin interface, there is a button you can click which does the same thing as a Scheduled Task. The table below lists all of the Scheduled Tasks (as of 08/30/16), and a link to the manual method where the feature is explained in some detail.

Only one scheduled task can run at a time. If you schedule two tasks to run every day at midnight, both will be put into a queue at midnight, but the second task won't start until the first finishes.

Types of Scheduled Tasks

Note that you won't see the "Standard Scheduled Tasks":
