Description

SMS Avancé turns Dolibarr into a full professional SMS platform: automatic invoice payment reminders, marketing campaigns with A/B testing, event-driven notifications, two-way conversations with your third parties, and built-in STOP/GDPR compliance.

The module ships with 12 SMS operator drivers (African and international) plus a generic HTTP gateway to connect any local operator exposing an HTTP API. One active operator is enough to get started.

Features

Sending

  • Manual sending from a third party card, a contact card, or free input
  • Scheduled sending (deferred date/time) processed by the Dolibarr scheduler
  • Bulk sending to a selection of third parties, a category, or a distribution list
  • SMS campaigns with an approval workflow: draft → explicit validation → send (nothing leaves without validation)
  • A/B testing: two message variants tested on samples (10–30%), delivery and click rates compared, then the winning variant sent to the rest of the audience
  • Personalization variables in messages (third party name, invoice reference, amount, unsubscribe link…)
  • Built-in link shortener with click tracking
  • Configurable message length cap (default 1,000 characters)

Dolibarr integration

  • Automatic reminders for unpaid invoices (configurable steps before/after due date)
  • Automatic notifications on business events: invoice validation, order shipment, intervention…
  • SMS tab on third party, contact, invoice, order, proposal, project, ticket, contract, shipment, intervention, member, user and agenda event cards
  • "Recent activity" widget on the home page
  • Full history of every SMS attached to the related third party

Inbound and compliance

Monitoring

  • Reminder outcomes: correlation between reminder SMS and invoice payments received within 7 days
  • Full sending journal with filters (period, operator, third party, campaign, status)
  • 3-level visibility through user rights: my SMS / SMS of my third parties / all SMS

Operations
