The scheduler
This documentation is for the WooRewards plugin
This PREMIUM add-on lets you schedule different actions on your points and rewards systems.
Installation and activation
First, you have to purchase the add-on. Since it’s a premium add-on, you can’t install it directly. Therefore, go to Woorewards Add-ons and purchase the add-on. Then, download the zip file (link in the order confirmation) and install it like a new plugin.
After the installation, go to MyRewards → System → License management and enter your license key (also received in the order confirmation). That’s it, you’re good to go.
Scheduled actions
Now that the add-on is active, it’s time to add your first scheduled action. Go to MyRewards → Scheduler. As a result, you’ll see a page with 2 different blocs, Scheduler and Settings.
Add a scheduled action
Click on the button Add a new loyalty system scheduled action to create a new scheduled action row.
The Information section will let you see the next Planned run and the Last Run.
Delete a scheduled action
To delete a scheduled action, simply click on the X right of the action. You will get a popup asking you Do you really want to delete this action?, click on OK.
Actions
Let’s see the different scheduled action you can use inside the add-on.
Action priority
When you have several scheduled actions, it is important to know that the order matters.
Information
Action are triggered in the order of the list, from top to bottom.
To help you reorder the scheduled actions, you have 2 different ways :
Click the arrow button to move the scheduled action in the arrow direction
Click the ‘=’ button and move to the desired position
The “Check For Rewards” specific action
If you plan to set some periodic challenges for your customer, you may want them to get the maximum amount of points during a set period. And, after that period, give them the best possible reward they can get. The scheduler add-on will help you to do it.
When installing the scheduler add-on, it also adds a new option in the points and rewards systems. You will find that option in the Advanced Settings.
Checking this option will remove customer’s ability to manually redeem a reward for this system. Instead, only scheduler actions will unlock them (use the Check For Rewards action).
Warning
This option won’t work if the Automatic Rewards Redeem option is set to Off in your points and rewards system.
Weekly Challenge Example
Example
In a system, set a list of rewards for different points.
Set the Automatic Redeem Reward to the value Unlock Best Reward Only.
Check the option Cannot be unlocked by user and click on Save Changes
Then go to MyRewards → Scheduler and add 2 new scheduled action.
Note again that the priority order is important. First you unlock prizes, then you reset the points.
