Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we will learn about how to Setup Custom Cron Job in Magento 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Cron Job ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magento Cron Job runs automatically at specific time and date to perform some task like Send Email, reindexing, Send Newsletters, Currency Rate Change etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without wasting your time, let us guide you straight away. Follow the easy step given below to Setup Custom Cron Job in Magento 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEPS FOR SETUP CUSTOM CRON JOB IN MAGENTO 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create crontab.xml file<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

app\/code\/Vendor\/Extension\/etc\/crontab.xml<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n&lt;?xml version="1.0" ?>\n&lt;config>\n    &lt;group id="default">\n        &lt;job name="magecurious_cron" instance="Vendor\\Extension\\Cron\\CustomCron" method="execute">\n            &lt;schedule>* * * * *&lt;\/schedule>\n        &lt;\/job>\n    &lt;\/group>\n&lt;\/config>\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
See the Explanation of Schedule Time * * * * *<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • \u2013 Day of the Week (0 – 6)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2013 Month (1 – 12)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2013 Day of Month (1 – 31)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2013 Hour (0 – 23)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2013 Minute (0 – 59)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    You can customize this time according to your requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Step 2: Create Custom Cron.php file<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    app\/code\/Vendor\/Extension\/Cron\/CustomCron.php<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
    \n&lt;?php\n\nnamespace Vendor\\Extension\\Cron;\n\nclass CustomCron\n{\n    protected $logger;\n\n    \/**\n    * Constructor\n    *\n    * @param \\Psr\\Log\\LoggerInterface $logger\n    *\/\n    public function __construct(\\Psr\\Log\\LoggerInterface $logger)\n    {\n        $this->logger = $logger;\n    }\n\n    public function execute()\n    {   \n        $this->logger->info("Magecurious custom cron is executed.");\n        \/\/add your custom cron job logic here.\n    }\n}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
    Here we add log but you can define your own custom logic like send email, send newsletter etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Step 3: Finally run the below commands<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n
    \n$ php bin\/magento setup:upgrade\n$ php bin\/magento cache:clean\n$ php bin\/magento cache:flush\n$ php bin\/magento cron:run;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
    List of Useful Cron Related Commands:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
    \nphp bin\/magento cron:install\ncrontab -l\nphp bin\/magento cron:run\nphp bin\/magento cron:remove\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
