Dedicated Task add-on

Sometimes, you may need to perform some actions on your website frequently or at a specific time by calling a URL. So we provide this add-on ---Dedicated task. With this add-on, we will help to create a task on our task server and call the URL you provided according to your requirements.

Before you order this add-on, note that it can only be used to call URL. This means you will need to integrate what you want to trigger or execute into a URL. Then when the task server call the URL, actions behind the URL will run.

Note "Call URL" means send HTTP GET request to your URL. It is not like browser URL from browser, the browser will perform other options such as post or other requests. So if you want to trigger some special operations on your website or db, you will need to adjust your code to make sure a HTTP GET request is enough. Then create the task from Control Panel.
