auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you control how long sent SMS messages are kept before being permanently removed, instead of Odoo deleting them automatically. You set the retention period in days from the Settings screen.

This module changes how Odoo handles old SMS messages. Normally, sent SMS records can be removed automatically; with this module installed, you decide how long they are kept.

Where it appears: - In Settings, under the Contacts section, a new field "SMS Purge Days" is added. Its default value is 90 days.

What it does: - The value you enter is stored as a system setting and is used by a scheduled cleanup job. - The cleanup job deletes SMS records that are marked for deletion and whose last modification date is older than the number of days you configured. - If no value is set, 90 days is used.

What it touches: - It extends the SMS model sms.sms and the settings model res.config.settings. - It also maps some SMS delivery statuses (processing, success, sent, delivered) to the internal "sent" state.

Note: the code shown only covers the retention setting and the cleanup job; it does not show any other screens, buttons or reports.
