The Automatic Scheduling service allows you to schedule your exports with just a couple of clicks. Rather than setting up cron jobs on your server, you can set schedules directly within WP All Export. The Automatic Scheduling service will then contact your site at the scheduled time to run your exports and check to make sure they completed correctly.

Automatic Scheduling vs Manual Scheduling

WP All Export offers two ways to schedule or automate exports. The first option is to manually create cron jobs to trigger and run the export. The second option is to use our paid Automatic Scheduling Service, where you can set your exports to run on a schedule from within WP All Export instead of setting up cron jobs.

This guide focuses on Automatic Scheduling.
