This module adds a dummy provider you can use for testing your SMS flows.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Adds a 'Dummy' SMS gateway option so you can test SMS flows without sending real messages. The gateway records each message and returns a state you choose, useful for testing.
This module extends the SMS gateway configuration with a new gateway type called 'Dummy'. It is meant for testing: instead of sending real SMS through a provider, it simulates sending and stores what would have been sent.
When you configure an SMS gateway and select the 'Dummy' type, two extra fields appear on the gateway form: - 'State': the status that each simulated message should get (for example sent or error). This field is required when the Dummy type is selected. - 'Sent messages': a read-only log that accumulates the content of every message processed by this gateway, each prefixed with a timestamp.
When messages are sent through this gateway, the module writes their content into the 'Sent messages' log and returns the chosen state for each message. If the chosen state is 'error', the message is marked with a server failure; otherwise no failure is recorded.
The module only touches the SMS gateway configuration model ir.sms.gateway and adds a group of fields to its existing form view. It does not add new menus or reports. It depends on the alternative SMS provider module, which provides the base gateway configuration screen.
