Server Cron Job Required for SMS Delivery

SMS workflow actions in Booknetic are dispatched through the workflow processing queue, which runs on WordPress Cron. Configuring your Twilio credentials is required, but it is not sufficient on its own.

A real server cron job running every 1 minute is also required. Without it, SMS workflow notifications will NOT be sent, regardless of how correctly your Twilio account is set up.

See Cron Job Configuration for step-by-step setup instructions.
