All of the records in the window will be displayed in a list
format as demonstrated in the image below.
Each defined SMS's preview will be listed in this window
together with its specifics, including the Subject,
Recipients, Responsible, Scheduled, Sent Date, Status,
Campaign, Sent, Clicked, and Bounced. Along with the name, the
Responsible employee's picture is also displayed. This image
serves as a quick way to chat with that specific employee. As
seen in the screenshot below, a pop-up will display if you
click on this image.
You can have a conversation with that person using this pop-up
chatbox. In order to improve the efficacy of your discussion,
you are also permitted to attach files or documents and

An SMS Marketing window, similar to the one in the above
image, will be visible on the module's home dashboard window.
You can see the reports in a variety of formats in the SMS
Marketing window, including Kanban view, List view, Calendar
view, and Graph view.
In the Kanban view, reports are shown in the image above.
According to the reports' operational stages, the window
manages them in different stages in the Kanban view. You may
see the Draft, In Queue, Sending, and Send stages in this
window, as seen in the highlighted areas of the below image.
In the screenshot below, the menu symbols for opening various
perspectives are also underlined. The Fold, Archive All, and
Unarchive All menus are included in the Settings icon, which
is located in the upper right corner of each stage and is

You can fold the relevant stage from the Kanban view by using the Fold option. Additionally, you have
the option to archive or unarchive the SMS records that are listed under each step. Additionally,
you may rapidly organize your data using the default and customizable filters included in the window's
Filters and Group By options.
Clicking the New button will allow you to start a new SMS marketing campaign. Below is a representation
of the creation window.
You must fill up some fields here. The internal title of the SMS can first be specified by providing
the Title of the SMS. The Recipients can then be added to this message. Fill out this form using the
drop-down menu. You can select your chosen receiver from a drop-down list of all the receiver models. If
this message isn't being sent to a large group of people, the Odoo17 system aids you in choosing the
right recipients. You can use a variety of filters on the platform to narrow your list. You need to
choose the recipients from the list in order to see the filters. You can select Applicant as the
Recipient, for instance,
if you want to send the message to the Applicants. As seen in the screenshot below, the system will now
show a +Add Filter option.
You can choose a certain applicant category by using the Add Filter option. You can now choose the
appropriate filter from the list.
Selecting a certain applicant type is possible by using the Add Condition option. You can now choose the
appropriate filter from the list.
You can type the message's content in the SMS Content tab. You have the option to utilize a variety of
smileys here as well.
A/B Tests is the next tab. A/B testing is an approach that compares two versions to see which will
produce better results. Allow A/B Testing, for instance, has a value of 10%, meaning that 10% of the
total receivers will receive one SMS version. Click the Create Alternative Version button to start
creating the alternate version, which can be sent to another 10% of recipients. Choose the appropriate
winner selection criteria, it can be the Highest Click Rate. Thus the SMS template that wins will be
determined by the criteria entered. Since the Highest Click Rate is used to select the winner in this
case, many campaign variants are compared based on this metric. The best version will then be sent to
the remaining recipients when the best version has been determined.
The Send Final On field might then contain the date of the final transmission to the remaining
recipients.
You can enter the name of the Responsible person in the Settings tab of the SMS creation window. The
Include opt-out link option is also available.
You can save the information after providing all the necessary information by selecting the SAVE option.
The Send, Schedule, and Test buttons may be seen on the upper left side of the window when you look up
at it. A pop-up window will appear when you click the Send button asking for confirmation to send SMSs.
Selecting the Send button will confirm the list. Now that the SMS has been sent, its status will change
from Draft to Sent.
By selecting the Schedule button, you can plan the SMS for a future time. The date on which you wish to
send your SMS to the recipients
can then be set in a pop-up box that appears. You can select a date using the calendar popup and then
click on the Schedule button.
The scheduled date, associated information, and the associated SMS Marketing status will all be
displayed in the window as In Queue.

Mailing Lists
There are two sub-menus available under the Mailing Lists tab in the Odoo17 SMS Marketing module:
Mailing Lists and Mailing List Contacts. The Mailing Lists feature was specifically created by Odoo17 to
allow users to compile a list of contacts for SMS distribution. Sending a large number of SMSs with only
one click will be incredibly practical. You will be able to save more time and effort as a result. The
Mailing Lists window will display a list of every Mailing List created on the platform. You may browse
and locate the numerous mailing lists built into the platform for marketing programs by looking at the
Mailing Lists window.
Both a Kanban and a List format are used by Odoo17 to display the Mailing Lists window. The image below

information like the mailing list's name, the number of contacts on each mailing list, and other
specifics. You can click on the List view menu icon located in the top right corner to open the list in
the List view. The List view is shown in the illustration below.

you can turn on the Is Public checkbox to make this mailing list visible to him on the unsubscription

preserve the contact information.
Blacklisted Phone Numbers
You can eliminate undesired contacts from your SMS list to blacklisted phone numbers using the Odoo17
SMS Marketing module. For avoiding sending undesired messages frequently, this feature is quite helpful.
You can do this by going to the Configuration tab and selecting the Blacklisted Phone Numbers menu. You
can add the necessary phone numbers to the blacklist using this menu. Therefore, SMS Mailings won't be
sent
to phone numbers on the blacklist any longer. Below is a picture of the Blacklisted Phone Numbers popup.
The Blacklist Date and a list of all the banned phone numbers are displayed in this window.
Clicking the New button will allow you to add new blacklisted phone numbers to the list.

to provide the phone number
in the E164 format. You can store the information by clicking the store button after providing the phone
number.
Link Tracker
The quickest marketing method and one with the highest open rates is SMS. The recipient will open and
read the SMS sooner because it is delivered directly to their pockets. The SMS Marketing module comes
pre-configured with the Link tracker option. To track click-through rates and comprehend the revenue
generated by your SMS campaign, use this Link tracker tool.
The Configuration tab of the Odoo17 SMS Marketing module provides access to the Link Tracker menu. Below
is a picture of the window.
The Link Tracker box will show a preview of the previously created records together with information on
the date and time of creation, the title of the page, the label of the button, the target URL, and the
number of clicks. Additionally, you may view the buttons for visiting a page and view click-through
data. Additionally, you have access to a number of Filters, Group By, Favorite, and Search options.
Graph view is another option for viewing the Link Tracker window. You can get the graphical analysis by

You can create reports in bar charts, pie charts, and line charts using the Graph view.
Let's have a look at the window's Reporting area.
Reporting
It will be quite helpful to have access to accurate and current reports on SMS Marketing in the
Reporting section of the Odoo SMS Marketing module. With the help of the Odoo17 SMS Marketing module,
you may analyze the many components of SMS marketing that have been done. The Odoo17 SMS Marketing
module's Measures page offers a number of metrics, including Bounced, Canceled, Clicked, Delivered,
Error, Opened, Scheduled, and Sent. Each of these
