Configuration Guide

Mautic Plugin

Step 1: Turn on API

In “Configuration” in section “API Settings” turn on API

Make sure to set up relatively big access token lifespan, so that application does not have to refresh it too often and long enough refresh token lifespan, so that admin does not have to reauthorize the app after holidays.

Step 2: Generate OAuth2 Credentials keys

In ”API Credentials” generate new OAuth2 set of keys

As callback set up address with http:// and https:// separated by comma:

http://CRM_instance_URL_address/mautic_api/get_token,https://CRM_instance_URL_address/mautic_api/get_token

for example: http://example.com/crm/mautic_api/get_token,https://example.com/crm/mautic_api/get_token

If you don’t see the API Credentials refresh the whole mautic page or check if API Settings were saved correctly.

Step 4: Add new jobs to crontab

  • For Mautic 4.X:
  • php bin/console evolpe:sync:process
  • php bin/console evolpe:historyactivity:process

  • evolpe:sync:process command should run relatively often because it sends new activities and records to CRM instance

  • evolpe:historyactivity:process command should run relatively often because it generates historical activity for the contact which has been identified and push to the CRM

Run following command in your SSH console (for example if Apache system user is www-data):

    crontab -e -u www-data

Paste new jobs at the end of crontab (for example if Mautic instance directory path is: /var/www/my_mautic):

For Mautic 4.X:

*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console evolpe:sync:process
*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console evolpe:historyactivity:process

Example of Mautic related crontab entries required to make the plugin work:

*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console mautic:campaigns:update --env=prod
*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console mautic:campaigns:trigger --env=prod
*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console mautic:segments:update --env=prod
*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console mautic:social:monitoring --env=prod
*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console mautic:emails:send

*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console evolpe:sync:process
*   *   *   *   *    /var/www/my_mautic/bin/console evolpe:historyactivity:process

Step 5: Make sure if CRM job exists in crontab

Run following command in your SSH console (for example if Apache system user is www-data):

    crontab -e -u www-data

And check if your CRM job exists here (for example if CRM instance directory path is: /var/www/crm):

*   *   *   *   *    cd /var/www/crm; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Initial Synchronization

Step 1: Synchronize exisiting Mautic Campaigns

For Mautic 4.X:

    php bin/console evolpe:campaigns:synchronize

Step 2: Synchronize CRM records with Mautic
