I am trying to send an email notification base on the selected value on the select field of the Client which is a Custom Post Type.

i created a cron job for the task, but my problem is how do i get the selected value of the of all the clients. Here is the code for my cron job:

//add new cron intervals
function add_new_intervals($schedules) 
{
    // add weekly and monthly intervals
    $schedules['weekly'] = array(
        'interval' => 604800,
        'display' => __('Once Weekly')
    );

    $schedules['monthly'] = array(
        'interval' => 2635200,
        'display' => __('Once a month')
    );
 $schedules['daily'] = array(
        'interval' => 60,
        'display' => __('every Hour')
    );

    return $schedules;
}
add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'add_new_intervals'); 


add_action('my_daily_event', 'do_this_daily' );
function my_task() {
    if ( !wp_next_scheduled( 'my_hourly_event' ) ) {
        wp_schedule_event( current_time( 'timestamp' ), 'daily', 'my_daily_event');
    }
}

add_action('wp', 'my_task');
function do_this_daily() {



  

}

i want to send an email to the client base on the selected value, the values on the select dropdown are daily, weekly and monthly.

Hi Minesh thank you for the response. Is there a way that toolset can get the selected value on the select field of the Client cpt from the parent cpt? Agency is the parent cpt of the Client Cpt

Thank you for the response. This is what i am trying to do, i am trying to create recurring emails (daily, weekly or monthly) to send to authors of a CPT. Maybe having a custom field automatically switch after those durations which could then trigger the CRED auto-notiifcations. Is this possible with using just toolset or do i have to use a plugin to achieve this?

Well - As you can see with the following Docs:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automated-email-notifications-with-cred/

You can automate the email notification based on the options listed here:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automated-email-notifications-with-cred/#send-the-notification-when-submitting-the-form

There is no option to configure CRON to send notification for daily, weekly, monthly basis and that is why I shared few alternative plugins that may help you to setup the CRON. Please check following plugins:
=> https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/
=> https://wordpress.org/plugins/cronjob-scheduler/

The way you want to achieve the notification functionality can be implemented with Toolset but it needs custom programming which is unfortunately beyond the scope of our support policy.

If you need custom programming for your project, please feel free to contact our certified partners:
