1) how to activate the CRON for CLI import (in order to import files in queue ?)
(apps/common/runtime/list-import-queue/)

Go in backend > settings > import/export and click the info icon for each of the import options

2) is the an API documentation in order to know all available functions on Mailwizz ?

You mean API functions, or general functions available in mailwizz?
If the first, see https://github.com/twisted1919/mailwizz-php-sdk

Hello,

thanks for your answer,

but 1) i created my list ad imported files in Queue since 3 or 4 hours (and nothing is imported)


2) i activated the CLI import
=> after that, should i go to write into the crontab file ? or something like that ?
what should i write
- this ? */5 * * * * php -q /var/www/mw/apps/console/console.php list-importer folder > /dev/null 2>&1

sorry, i'm not an expert.

Yes exactly. You have to add this cron job in the same way you have added the ones at install, remember ?
let me know if unclear

This is the correct cron job:
*/5 * * * * php -q /var/www/mw/apps/console/console.php list-import folder >/dev/null 2>&1

how to save the file ?

With waht editor did you open that?
If it's VI, then when you are done editing, press ESC which will take you out of insert mode, then press Shift followed by the letter Z two times.

 

[paul dubois]

With waht editor did you open that?

I'm using putty ...
i launched the "crontab -e" command

I'm using putty ...
i launched the "crontab -e" command

it is probly editor 'vi', so try exit with saving
:x
(those are not mwz questions, so perhaps try google, but for reference: https://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html)

Thanks for your help ...
finally i downloaded the file on my descktop ... and modified it ...

it was faster (after more than 2 hours, tring to modified it using command lines).

regards.

For cron based automatic CSV import via CLI, What is the location of the folder to store the csv files? (I just started using it)

 

[Miltan Chaudhury]

This is the correct cron job:
*/5 * * * * php -q /var/www/mw/apps/console/console.php list-import folder >/dev/null 2>&1

Hi, what is the directory to store/save the CSV file to import? (Sorry, I am new to this software)

 

[twisted1919]

@Miltan Chaudhury - You don't have to worry about that, you simply upload the file like you usually do, then mailwizz does the rest. You just make sure you add the cron job.

Thanks @twisted1919

this task can not perform any solution?

 

[twisted1919]

@Francisco Irigoite - you need to add it just like the other mailwizz cron jobs. What you see is examples which you have to adapt to your server, so, for example, duplicate your send-campaigns cron jobs but this time instead of the words send-campaigns, you put list-import folder.

There is no command for console list-import-folder. What is the correct console command?

- list-export
- list-import
- listexport
- listimport

Press the info button from Backend > Settings > Import/Export > CLI import enabled in the popup that appears you will have the correct cron.
