Dolibarr offers a scheduled tasks engine. This engine is animated by a php script that must be 'launched' via a cron if your hosting is under linux.

But access to this 'cron' command is often complicated, so when we set up 'cloud' hosting DoliZEN we wanted to offer a free web service to make life easier for dolibarr users.

You can add your “dolibarr cron link” to our free service and your dolibarr scheduled task engine will launch itself daily!

It happens here : https://webcron.dolizen.fr/register

Tip: create a dolibarr user dedicated to launching scheduled tasks remotely (good practice in partitioning).

Go to your dolibarr: Home > Configuration > Modules/Applications > Scheduled tasks (click on the small gear to go to the module configuration)

If necessary, generate an access key and save, then copy the address “URL for checking and launching qualified scheduled jobs from a browser”.

</ignore>Copy your “remote cron” address

Log on to https://webcron.dolizen.fr/login then click on “Scheduled tasks” in the left-hand menu, then on the “New” button in the top right-hand corner and paste the address you copied in the previous step.

</ignore>Paste the address of your “remote cron”

Go back to the list of your remote scheduled tasks and click on the action / launch button to check that your scheduled task has been programmed correctly …

Note: in our example the address used is http://192.168.16.183 which is not a functional address. To work, your dolibarr must be accessible on a public address.
