I am trying to learn how to use the action scheduler so I am hoping somehow can give me some good pointers. I've got this code:

<?php
add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'wootomation_schedule' ) );
add_action( 'wootomation_import', array( $this, 'wootomation_do_action' ) );

function wootomation_schedule() {
    // if ( false === as_next_scheduled_action( 'wootomation_import' ) ) {
    //  as_schedule_recurring_action( time(), 30, 'wootomation_import' );
    // }
    if ( false === as_next_scheduled_action( 'wootomation_import' ) ) {
        as_enqueue_async_action( 'wootomation_import' );
    }
}

function wootomation_do_action() {
    var_dump('test');
    wp_mail( '[email protected]', 'test AS', 'Action schedule completed' );
}

Which appears to create the action but it never runs. I tried refreshing the front end of the website but didn't help.

Can anyone tell me how to get it to run?

And the 2nd question would be, is this the right approach for breaking up some heavy indexing, maybe with args such as page: "0-100", page: "101-200", etc.

Thanks, Dragos
