SMS Followups

This version of c9 includes some refinements to followup SMS messages including ability to send follows on unit sales.

Firstly while in middle of a sale or workshop job you can flag whether or not to send a followup message

Next there is now an option to drop in a link for reviews. e.g. for google reviews if you google your shop and click on reviews, there is a button : get more reviews.

Here you'll see a link you can copy into a new slot in c9.

Feed this link into c9, make sure you 'reset' the templates for workshop and sales sms.

Start collecting up those sweet sweet reviews. Sample SMS outputs:

Tweaks and fixes

  • Automated SMS followups
    • Add a new option into workshop so on complete/invoice you can disable followups, for the more 'difficult' jobs
    • Add followups for unit sales, also with an option to disable followups
    • Include an option to drop in a link to google review as part of followup to encourage people to leave reviews.
  • Suzuki EPC : previously importing EPC required verification of access to suzuki by successful magician login, because of how sketchy this now is with MFA login required for Suzuki DealerNET , instead validate access is permitted but checking c9 Repo
  • Deleted bank accounts : deleted bank accounts can be accessed via a 'deleted' tab and from here can be restored
  • Add unit. IF you key in a duplicate reference, e.g. 27 once it runs out of letters upto 'Z' strange things happen. Improve things here to expand out into double and triple digit letter allocation
  • WPS integration: remove old SOAP based API's. Now using REST API's only.
  • Subtle defect with create a BAS defaulted to cash basis. The generated BAS figures actually start on accruals basis. You need to toggle basis from cash to accruals back to cash to get correct figures. Now fixed
  • Bulk Payment : Enter key switches focus to list of can quickly select a heap of txns to settle without having to touch the mouse
  • End of Day auto adjust posting : make sure it's posting date is before midnight, not after
  • AusPOST shipping integration: default shipments without labels to not export as part of a order confirmation / manifest generation
  • Remove pay salary option in generic txn.  This function is often misused when should be posting a more complex payrun gl entry. If any dealers have a genuine need to for txn type (highly unlikely), will need to now post as a manual journal entry from now on.
  • Switches to configure PureMoto integration (more details to come)
  • Workshop Promise : also track a promise time
  • WA paperwork : better Form 4,  added Form 6
  • Sale On road costs preloaded on a purchase are not being saved. Caused by recent changes/bug fixes here. Now working again.
  • [X] add unit : plate only pops existing units screen if plate matches and other key fields are not yet filled in (e.g. VIN and reference)
