Anyone run into this: Have a reminder set to go out every day, week, or month at a certain time of day, and it runs fine once, then slips by one minute every time it runs thereafter? I do. Here's a screen shot of the Action configuration with its override in the Settings of the form.. maybe i'm setting it up wrong? Any insight that helps resolve is greatly appreciated!

I forgot to mention, I followed the recommendations on the Siteground hosting site linked to from the FF docs page for configuring automation. Disabled wp-cron and have a I have a custom cron running to make sure a task doesn't get missed. Here's the cron:
* * * * * wget -q -O - https://example.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1
I was just going to suggest the same thing. wp-cron is highly unreliable for "exact time events" because wp-cron only runs when someone visits your website. Nice job finding a solution. Let us know if it works to solve the problem.
Hi Victor. This doesn't solve the problem. I think it should, since I'm triggering the cron to run every minute. However, I think I should either build a scheduler on a third party platform like n8n that I can use to build webhooks that can take parameters from FF forms, or build the entire thing on a platform like FlutterFlow or Bubble. Both of those have native scheduling support and I could integrate something like OneSignal, Twilio, and SendGrid.
Was really hoping to build in FF, but I can't have the time slippage.
This defies logic. Have you opened a ticket with Strategy 11? Sounds like a bug.
Indeed. I have not yet opened a bug. Since in production and a contract precludes me from extending admin access, I need to set up the scenario on my side first. I'll do that next. Thanks again, Victor. I really appreciate your community leadership.
