Scheduled Imports are broken

[Colin Carmichael]

It seems that my scheduled imports have not been running for some time… new subscribes seem to work as do “one-time” imports of individual events. When I try to manually run an existing subscribed import, all I get is “Successfully queued 1 scheduled import” but nothing else happens. I used to see the status of the import with 1 new event, 1 new photo, etc. Looking around the forums, it seems I’m not the only one with this issue.

Hi Colin, this is exactly what i’m seeing although i am getting some scheduled imports to run. I checked some known sources and saw there should be a dozen events – i run the import manually and nothing other than the “Successfully scheduled …” message. Then i thought i’d try a new one time import and in come the events. I’ve confirmed this with several Facebook sources.

I created a separate case before seeing your thread.

Colin and Neil, if you’re able to successfully import it manually but not via scheduled imports, this is a known issue.

I’ll mark this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed as it’s in the development team’s hands.

I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.
