Payment Reminder Messages
In collaboration with Mollie payments, we have made it possible to notify customers about unfinished payments using an e-mail. With the MessageBird integration, we can share this payment link directly with them through a text message so the customers can directly revive their order.
Please note that;
- This feature is only available when the Mollie Payments plugin is installed and enabled;
- The message is only sent if the customer didn't finish their order in a certain time period.
It's possible to restrict the triggers to specific statuses or client groups.
General Communication
Select the customer group for where you want to trigger the MessageBird messages.
Statuses
You can set the status on which moment the MessageBird notification would be triggered for;
- Orders
- Invoices
- Credit Memos
- Shipments
Enable this function to write debug records and log events, API calls, and other debugging-related information into a debug.log
