How can I configure the waitlist so that when a new customer adds a waitlist item an email is sent to the administrator?

I wan to be notified of a new waitlist item by email without having to check the report regularly.

Hi,

There is no setting to do that for now. So it would require the development of a small custom plugin to send that email when the waitlist item is added.

Thanks Nicolas

I have set up an article to run a php script to send an email which I will add a simple select statement from the waitlist table to determine if the email should be sent.

How do i set up an additional cron job (In addition to the one that is already running which processes the waitlist fulfilled messages) to call the url of the article?
It looks like in the configuration - Cron tab only one cron can be set up.

Hi,

The cron system we have in HikaShop is for HikaShop only, not other scripts.
If you want to plug yourself to it, you can create a HikaShop plugin and implement the onHikashopCronTrigger function:
[ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...nHikashopCronTrigger](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#onHikashopCronTrigger)

Otherwise, if you want to configure a cron job to call a specific PHP script on your web server, you need to configure the cron as your hosting company offers.
We have some documentation for the HikaShop cron:
[ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ron-task.html#server](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/55-hikashop-cron-task.html#server)
So you might want to use a cron job somewhat similar but just changing the URL to point to your script.
The best would be to ask your hosting company.
