 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * With that, you would have to trigger either the execution of the WP Cron functionality
   in WordPress or just call the same PHP function (read: run the appropriate `do_action()`
   call from the Extension’s PHP file) in your script.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the quick reply.
 * I’m sorry. I’m a beginner in WordPress and PHP.
    Could you please shed some light
   on this issue ?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * not really 🙁 As I have limited time, I can only point you to relevant places,
   which in this case is the Auto Import Extension’s PHP file. How to call functions
   from that externally depends on your specific application. Sorry 🙁
 * Regards,
    Tobias
