TF Tools Automatic Tasks

The component can execute automatic processes such as inspecting links in Google for SEO, posting to Facebook page, updating database tables and sending notification emails to administrators. This is a one-time setup and once done, you won't have to think about it any more and all automatic actions will work.

For these actions to be executed, the tasks are required to be triggered regularly, and each time it checks if some tasks have to be executed and then do what needs to be done.

There are two ways to setup:

  1. Joomla Task Scheduler Plugin
  2. Direct Cron Job

Option 1: Task Scheduler Plugin

After installing, enable the plugin from Joomla Plugin manager.

Option 2: Direct Cron Job

/index.php?option=com_tftools&task=auto.cron&token=<Your Secret Token>

You can set the secret token (optional) in the component options.
