The Problem We Solve | المشكلة التي نحلها

Without Cequens SMS Gateway

  • Limited to Odoo IAP for SMS, which may have poor delivery rates in the MENA region
  • No control over SMS costs — pay-per-use through Odoo with no bulk rate negotiation
  • Cannot use your approved business sender name for brand recognition
  • No choice of SMS gateway — locked into a single provider

With Digital Economics Solution

  • Excellent SMS delivery rates across the Middle East & Africa with Cequens
  • Full cost control — use your own Cequens account with negotiated bulk rates
  • Use your approved business sender name for professional communications
  • Choose Cequens or Odoo IAP per company — flexible multi-provider setup

How It Works | كيف يعمل

1️⃣

Select Provider

Go to Settings and choose "Send via Cequens" as your SMS provider

2️⃣

Enter Credentials

Configure your Cequens Username, API Key, and Sender Name

3️⃣

Start Sending

All Odoo SMS features now route through Cequens automatically

Key Features

Per-Company SMS Provider

Each company in your Odoo instance can independently choose between Odoo IAP and Cequens for SMS delivery. Perfect for multi-company environments.

Secure Credential Storage

API credentials are stored with system-level access restrictions. Only administrators can view or modify Cequens configuration, protecting your sensitive data.

Automatic Token Management

JWT authentication tokens are cached for 23 hours and automatically refreshed. No manual intervention needed — the module handles all authentication seamlessly.

Connection Testing Wizard

Built-in wizard to test your API credentials and send a test SMS before going live. Instantly verify your configuration works correctly.

Detailed Error Handling

Clear, actionable error messages for common issues: invalid credentials, invalid sender name, insufficient credits, and network problems. No more guessing what went wrong.

Full Odoo Integration

Works seamlessly with all Odoo SMS features: marketing campaigns, customer notifications, two-factor authentication, and automated server actions.

🔐 OTP on Sign-up

Toggle a single setting and new portal sign-ups will require a phone-number OTP. A required Mobile field is added to the standard signup form, the user receives a 6-digit code via Cequens SMS, and the account is only created after verification.

🔑 OTP on Login (2-step)

After a correct password, the user is redirected to an OTP entry page. Every other route is blocked by an ir.http dispatch gate until the code is verified — no chance of slipping past the verification step.

📝 Customisable OTP Templates

6 pre-loaded message bodies (English, Arabic, bilingual; generic / login / sign-up) with a {otp} placeholder. Add your own templates or edit existing ones from the standard Odoo backend, no code required.

💰 Account Balance

Read your live Cequens credit balance directly in the configuration wizard. A one-click Refresh Balance button calls the Cequens credits endpoint and updates the display — no need to leave Odoo.

🔗 Headless OTP Endpoints

Expose /cequens/otp/request and /cequens/otp/verify JSON endpoints for mobile apps, third-party portals or custom flows. The same sms.cequens.otp.request service powers both the bundled UI and your integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

الأسئلة الشائعة

Do I need a Cequens account?
Yes, you need an active Cequens account with API access enabled. You can sign up at cequens.com. You will need your Username and API Key from your Cequens dashboard.
Can I use different SMS providers for different companies?
Yes! Each company in your Odoo multi-company setup can independently choose between Odoo IAP and Cequens as their SMS provider. This gives you maximum flexibility.
What phone number format should I use?
Use international format with the country code prefix. For example: +201001234567 for Egypt, +966501234567 for Saudi Arabia, +971501234567 for UAE.
How are SMS costs billed?
SMS costs are billed directly through your Cequens account, not through Odoo IAP. This gives you full control over your SMS spending and allows you to negotiate bulk rates directly with Cequens.
Does this work with Odoo Community edition?
Yes, this module is fully compatible with both Odoo 18.0 Community and Enterprise editions.
What happens if my Cequens token expires?
The module automatically manages JWT tokens. Tokens are cached for 23 hours and automatically refreshed when they expire. If a token expires mid-session, the module will transparently re-authenticate and retry the SMS delivery.
