I would like to configure Odoo to send follow-up messages via SMS informing customers of overdue payments at pre-determined intervals.

I have Odoo 8 installed and have added the account_followup module to notify customers of payments that are overdue.I also have the odoosms module successfully installed and working.

What I would like to achieve is to bring these two together so that I can send automated followup messages via SMS.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

So far, I have tried the following:


1) Created an automated action called "send invoice due sms" with the following settings:

Related Document Model: Invoice

When to Run: Based on Timed Condition

Trigger Date: Due Date

Delay After Trigger Date: 7 Days


2) The server action is also called "send invoice due sms", configured like this:

Base Model: Invoice

Action To Do: send sms

SMS Template: invoice due sms

Mobile: res.partner.mobile


3) I created an SMS template that says simply "invoice due", enabled the SMS template checkbox.


4) When I test the automated action from an overdue invoice, no sms is placed in the SMS queue. I am certain that the sms gateway is configured correctly as I am able to send from the partner form just fine.


Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks. I installed the odoosms module and can send sms from the partner form perfectly. So far, I have tried the following:

1) Created an automated action called "send invoice due sms" with the following settings:

Related Document Model: Invoice

When to Run: Based on Timed Condition

Trigger Date: Due Date

Delay After Trigger Date: 7 Days

The server action is also called "send invoice due sms", configured like this:

Base Model: Invoice

Action To Do: send sms

SMS Template: invoice due sms

Mobile: res.partner.mobile

I created an SMS template that says simply "invoice due", enabled the SMS template checkbox. The sms gateway is configured correctly as I am able to send from the partner form just fine.

When I test the automated action from an overdue invoice, no sms is placed in the SMS queue.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
