+.. tip::
+   SMS messages can be sent using automation rules in Odoo. Odoo *Studio* is required to use
+   automation rules.
+
+   To install Odoo *Studio*, go to the :menuselection:`Apps application`. Then, using the
+   :guilabel:`Search...` bar, search for `studio`.
+
+   If it is not already installed, click :guilabel:`Install`.
+
+   Adding the *Studio* application upgrades the subscription status to *Custom*, which increases the
+   cost. Consult `support <https://www.odoo.com/contactus>`_, or reach out to the database's
+   customer success manager, with any questions on making the change.
+
+   To use automation rules, navigate in :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`, to
+   :menuselection:`Settings app --> Technical menu --> Automation section --> Automation Rules`.
+   Then, click :guilabel:`New` to create a new rule.
+
+   Enter a name for the automation rule, and select a :guilabel:`Model` to implement this rule on.
+
+   Based on the selection for the :guilabel:`Trigger`, additional fields will populate below. Set
+   the :guilabel:`Trigger` to one of the following options:
+
+   :guilabel:`Values Updated`
+
+   - :guilabel:`User is set`
+   - :guilabel:`State is set to`
+   - :guilabel:`On archived`
+   - :guilabel:`On unarchived`
+
+   :guilabel:`Timing Conditions`
+
+   - :guilabel:`Based on date field`
+   - :guilabel:`After creation`
+   - :guilabel:`After last update`
+
+   :guilabel:`Custom`
+
+   - :guilabel:`On save`
+   - :guilabel:`On deletion`
+   - :guilabel:`On UI change`
+
+   :guilabel:`External`
+
+   - :guilabel:`On webhook`
+
+   Other options may appear based on the :guilabel:`Model` selected. For example if the
+   :guilabel:`Calendar Event` model is selected, then the following options appear in addition to
+   those above:
+
+   :guilabel:`Email Events`
+
+   - :guilabel:`On incoming message`
+   - :guilabel:`On outgoing message`
+
+   Under the :guilabel:`Before Update Domain` field, set a condition to be met before updating the
+   record. Click :guilabel:`Edit Domain` to set record parameters.
+
+   Under the :guilabel:`Actions To Do` tab, select :guilabel:`Add an action`. Next, in the resulting
+   :guilabel:`Create Actions` pop-up window, select :guilabel:`Send SMS`, and set the
+   :guilabel:`Allowed Groups`. :guilabel:`Allowed Groups` are the access rights groups that are
+   allowed to execute this rule. Leave the field empty to allow all groups. See this documentation:
+   :ref:`access-rights/groups`.
+
+   Next, set the :guilabel:`SMS Template` and choose whether the SMS message should be logged as a
+   note, by making a selection in the drop-down menu: :guilabel:`Send SMS as`. Click
+   :guilabel:`Save and Close` to save the changes to this new action.

+   implement the change.
