Scheduled Tasks

With Scheduled tasks, you can schedule a task to run at certain periods. For example, nopCommerce sends queued emails periodically. The basic steps to create a new task are:

1. Define a class which implements IScheduleTask interface. It has only one method that takes no arguments; Execute. As you guessed this method is invoked when the task should be run.

2. To schedule a task the developer should insert a new ScheduleTask record into the appropriate database table. You can use IScheduleTaskService for inserting such a record.

Important

When insert the new record into ScheduleTask database table for new ScheduleTask, it is important to keep Type column format Namespace.TaskClassName, AssemblyName.

Troubleshooting

• Make sure your store has a valid URL.
• Restart the application after adding new schedule task.
