Scheduled Report Delivery Cron #

The scheduled report cron checks for due reports every hour and delivers them by email.

Schedule #

What It Does #

Each hour, the Scheduler class:

1. Queries wp_dmsilm_analytics_scheduled for records where next_run <= NOW() and status = 'active'
2. For each due report: generates the report data, formats it in the configured format, emails it to recipients
3. Updates last_sent to now and calculates next_run for the next delivery
4. On failure: increments failure_count; if 3 consecutive failures, sets status = 'paused' and notifies the WordPress admin

Email Sending #

Report emails are sent using WordPress’s wp_mail() function, which uses your site’s configured SMTP or the default PHP mail. For reliable delivery of scheduled reports, configure an SMTP plugin (e.g., WP Mail SMTP) with a dedicated mail service.
