  • Check the Repeat task checkbox
  • Set it to repeat to a repeatable time of your choice, the auto.php triggers a download of mails, activates triggers and is SiT's own scheduler. Recommended is every minute. If you are in doubt, set to 1 minute.
  • Click OK a few times to finish editing the scheduled task.
