Set up automatic alerts
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Now that your subscriptions are up and running, you want to stay up-to-date with your customers.
|
|
Some automation would be appreciated since you would not want to go through the list of all your
|
|
subscribers to check how things are going. This is what the *Automatic Alerts* feature is for.
|
|
|
|
For example, when customers subscribe to your magazine, you would probably want to send them an
|
|
email to welcome them and express your gratitude. Or, if the satisfaction rate of your customers
|
|
drops below 50%, you would probably want to schedule a call with them to understand the reasons for
|
|
their dissatisfaction.
|
|
|
|
With **Odoo Subscriptions**, you can set automatic emails, create a "Call" task for one
|
|
of your salespeople so that he/she can try to understand your customer's dissatisfaction, and
|
|
finally, why not automatically send satisfaction surveys so customers can evaluate your services?
|
|
All of that is now possible.
|
|
|
|
Create a new automatic alert
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to create a new automatic alert to send satisfaction surveys to your
|
|
customers, by email, after one month of subscription. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Subscriptions
|
|
--> Configuration --> Alerts`, and create a new alert.

|
|
|
|
1. On the *Apply on* section, first give the alert a name. Then, you can choose to apply this alert
|
|
on a subscription template, on a specific customer, or even on a specific product. If you want
|
|
to add more specifications, you can also specify the value of your MRR, the change rate of your
|
|
MRR over a certain period of time, the value of the satisfaction rate, and even the stage to
|
|
which you want to apply this alert.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
In this example, the alert is applied to a specific product, and the stage goes from
|
|
*Undefined* to *In Progress*.
|
|
|
|
2. For the *Action* section, specify the *Action* and the *Trigger on*. If the *Trigger on* is set
|
|
to *Modification*, the action is triggered every time there is a change or anything added to the
|
|
subscription, and all the conditions on the *Apply on* section are met. Now, if the *Trigger on*
|
|
is set to *Timed condition*, it means that the action is triggered based on the type of
|
|
*Trigger date*. After that, you can choose your *Action*. You have the choice between
|
|
*Create next activity*, *Set a tag on the subscription*, *Set a stage on the subscription*,
|
|
*Mark as To Renew*, *Send an email to the customer* and *Send an SMS Text Message to the
|
|
customer*.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
In the example above, the *Trigger on* is set to *Timed condition*, therefore, a
|
|
*Trigger date* and *Delay after trigger* need to be specified. And because the *Send an email
|
|
to the customer* action was adopted, an *Email template* can be chosen.
|
|
|
|
As a result, this alert will send a rating survey after one month, to the customers who have
|
|
purchased that specific product. The survey will appear in the chatter of your respective
|
|
subscription.

Modify an existing automatic alert
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
By default, Odoo suggests you an automatic alert called *Take action on less satisfied clients*.
|

|
|
|
|
This alert is applied to the *Rating Satisfaction* of your customers, and the action is triggered
|
|
on *Timed condition*. If their satisfaction rate is lower than 50%, a salesperson contacts the
|
|
customer. This action is automatically assigned to the salesperson who manages the subscription,
|
|
and the due date is 5 days after the triggering of this action. This alert ensures that your
|
|
clients are happy and that you are taking actions if they are not. It helps to keep your customer
|
|
retention rates very high.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
By editing the alert, you can modify the *Apply on*, the *Action* and *Activity* sections, and
|
|
adapt them to your own needs.
