auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Automatically notify customers by email or SMS when a payment or debit order is marked as sent, and optionally block sending if the customer cannot be reached.
This module adds automatic customer notifications to payments in Odoo Accounting. When a payment is marked as sent, the customer can receive an email or an SMS telling them their payment or debit order was processed and sent to the bank, listing the related invoices or credit notes and the total amount.
In Settings, under the invoicing options, three new choices appear: - Whether notifications are sent automatically or only manually. - Which channel to use: by email, by SMS, by email if possible otherwise SMS, by SMS if possible otherwise email, or by all possible means. - Whether notifications are required, which forbids marking a payment as sent when the customer cannot be notified with the chosen method.
On the payment form there are buttons to notify by email or by SMS manually, and on the payment list a bulk action notifies several partners at once. The payment search view gains filters for customers with or without an email address and with or without a mobile phone, so users can find payments that cannot be notified. A mobile phone field is shown on payments, taken from the customer's phone number. Two ready-made templates (one email, one SMS) are provided and can be edited. Account users are allowed to read the payment SMS templates.
