How to Set Up Automatic SMS Alerts

Written by the SellarPro team · Published 12 October 2026 · 1 min read

Short answer

Open Communication Center → Settings and choose Automated SMS. Switch on the texts you want: payment receipts and overdue invoice reminders to customers, register open and close alerts and the daily sales summary to you, service invoice links, and restaurant order texts.

Some texts are worth sending every time, without anyone remembering to. Switch them on once.

Steps

  1. Open Communication Center → Settings and choose the Automated SMS tab.
  2. Tick the texts you want, and fill in who receives your own alerts.
  3. Save.
The Automated SMS tab of Communication Center settings with the Daily Sales Summary and its email and SMS recipients
Each automatic text is switched on here.

To your customers

  • Payment Receipt Notice: sent the moment a payment is recorded against their invoice.
  • Overdue Invoice Notice: sent once a day to customers with an overdue invoice who have not been reminded yet.
  • Service invoice SMS: a link to view and pay each service invoice when it is raised.
  • Restaurant order texts: see How to Text Customers When Their Food Order Is Ready.

To you

  • Register Open / Close Alerts: SMS on Register Open and SMS on Register Close text you whenever a staff member opens or closes a register, with the figures.
  • Daily Sales Summary: see How to Get a Daily Sales Summary by SMS or Email. Use Send Test Daily Report to see one now.

Each text uses your SMS balance, and a customer needs a mobile number on their record.
