to use the Custom Alert Add-On?

After purchasing the Custom Alert Add-On, go to the sidebar and click on the

Custom Alert option.

You will see a page that displays the list of all previously created custom

alerts.

To create a new custom alert, click on the Create button given at the top of the

page.

First, you need to select the alert type that best fits your requirement.
After selecting the alert type, you will find a show type option where you can

choose between “Now” and “Custom”.

If you choose the show type as “Now”, the alert will be sent

immediately to all selected users.

If you choose the show type as “Custom”, you can select whether

the alert is related to a sales invoice or a purchase invoice.

There is an enable button given, if you enable that button, the alert will be

sent to the customer/vendor on the due date of that sales invoice or purchase invoice.

You can also set how many times you want the alert to be shown to the selected

users.

When you select the Show Type as “Now”, you will be able to

choose multiple users who will receive the alert instantly.

When you select the Show Type as “Custom“, you will see

additional fields where you can choose a module, such as “Sales Invoice” and “Purchase Invoice” from under General.

If you select the sales Invoice module, another dropdown will appear allowing

you to select a specific sales invoice from the list.

Once you select a particular sales invoice, only the customers assigned to that

invoice will see the alert when they log in.

If you select the purchase Invoice module, another dropdown will appear allowing

you to select a specific purchase Invoice from the list.

Once you select a particular purchase invoice, only the vendors assigned to that

purchase invoice will see the alert when they log in.

There is also a “Number of Days” field where you can enter a

number before the alert.

The number you enter will be added to the current date, and the alert will start

showing before the number of days that date is reached.

This automation works on the due date of sales invoices and purchase invoices,

which means the alert will be sent to the customer/vendor on the due date itself.

After you create the custom alert, it will be visible on the custom alert page

including all the details like alert type, show type, module, automation field, users, is enabled, how many times, number of days, date, and an action column from where you can edit, delete or view the details of alerts easily.
