Scheduled tasks
The package installs Task - Easy Helpdesk. Enable routines under System > Scheduled Tasks.
Easy Helpdesk: fetch mail
- Pulls unread messages from all configured mailboxes
- Schedule every few minutes for active email support
- Alternative: external cron hitting the keyed
mail.fetchURL
Easy Helpdesk: SLA sweep
- Flags SLA breaches and applies escalation rules from policies
- Keeps clocks honest without someone opening the administrator
Tips
- Ensure the plugin is enabled after install
- Use Joomla scheduler logging if a routine fails silently
- Manual Fetch email in the administrator still works for tests
