Odoo Automated Actions: Scheduled Actions Not Running

Question

I created a scheduled action in Odoo, but it’s not executing. What could be the issue?

Problem

Scheduled actions fail due to incorrect cron job setup, missing permissions, or a broken Odoo worker.

Solution

• Verify that the cron job is enabled: bash

sudo systemctl status odoo.service

• Check if the cron is correctly configured in Technical > Scheduled Actions.
• Ensure the ir.cron model is not disabled: sql

UPDATE ir_cron SET active = TRUE WHERE name = 'Your Cron Job Name';

• If running on a multi-worker setup, restart workers after changes.
