New functionality added to Odoo
Event organizers can now schedule SMS messages alongside emails for event communications, including registration confirmations and reminders. This helps reach attendees more reliably by using mobile or phone numbers and keeps sent-message logs for follow-up.
Original PR description
PURPOSE
Allow the user to schedule SMS communication on events
SPECIFICATION
In event.event form view:
* rename tab 'Email Schedule' to 'Communication'
* add a selection field at the beginning of event_mail_ids with label 'Send'
and values 'Email' and 'SMS Text Message' (required with default value
'Email');
* add support of SMS template and SMS sending in event communication;
Add SMS template data
* Name: Event: Registration (see data)
* Name: Event: Reminder (see data)
Improve registration model
* add a mobile field to the attendees form view: https://nimb.ws/p0VvyS
Technically this task uses the newly-introduced API methods allowing to
send and schedule SMS.
MIGRATION
Some notes on migration
* event.registration: new mobile field in addition to phone, may be void;
* event.type.mail and event.mail: new notification_type field. Existing
rows: set value to 'mail'.
