Cron Job: FluentCRM Cron With xCloud

xCloud is a modern server management and hosting platform. It includes a built-in, server-level cron (xCloud-Cron) that replaces WordPress's default visitor-triggered cron — so FluentCRM's email sending and automations run on time, even when no one is visiting your site.

NOTE

FluentCRM processes scheduled tasks every minute. Set the xCloud-Cron interval to Every Minute so email sending and automations aren't delayed. See Cron Job: Basics & Checklist for the recommended intervals.

Switch to xCloud-Cron

In xCloud you choose between the default WordPress cron and the server-level xCloud-Cron from your site's settings. The two are mutually exclusive, so selecting xCloud-Cron replaces WP-Cron automatically — you don't need to edit wp-config.php or add a manual cron command.

1. In the xCloud Dashboard, open your site and click Site Settings in the left sidebar.
2. Find the WP-Cron and xCloud-Cron panel and select xCloud-Cron.
3. In the Cron Interval for Server dropdown, choose Every Minute.
4. Click Save Settings.

That's all — xCloud now triggers your site's scheduled tasks every minute at the server level.

TIP

The same panel has an "add additional custom cronjob" link if you ever need extra server-level cron commands beyond the standard interval. Most FluentCRM users won't need this — the Every Minute setting above is enough.

Verify It's Working

Give it a couple of minutes, then open Settings → System Admin Tools → Cron Job Monitor in FluentCRM and confirm the intervals match the recommended values.
