ERPNext Notification "days before" and "days after" troubleshooting

It is common ERPNext users struggling to troubleshoot notifications, specially " Days Before" , and "Days After"

The reason is they have to wait untill next day to execute the notification.

Here are the steps you can actually troubleshoot without waiting.

1-Basic

As shown in this picture, make sure you have an alert today.

Like , adjust the posting date of an invoice to yesterday's or day-before-yesterdays date, and enter 1 or 2 days accordingly on "days before or After" filed.

You should get a message like this

Make sure that scheduler running every days. Filter it with "notification.trigger_daily_alerts" as shown in the screenshot below. These must an execution log in every day. Otherwise there is an issue with scheduler.

If everything ok with scheduler, continue with following steps.

After that, you can use following command on bench ,

bench --site yoursite.erpgulf.com execute frappe.email.doctype.notification.notification.trigger_daily_alerts

It will execute the notification procedure immediately, that is supposed to be executed midnight today or tomorrow.

If executed correctly it will return blank. You can check on email queue or SMS/Whatsapp Log whether it is queued there on sent.

If it didnt executed properly , it will throw an error.
