This module adds async processing capabilities to attachments by implementing a new model attachment.queue that wraps attachments and stores additional information so that it can be processed in an asynchronous way.
A use case of this module can be found in the attachment_synchronize module.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds an attachment queue that processes files in the background, with status tracking, manual run/reschedule buttons, and failure email notifications.
This module introduces a new "Attachment Queue" screen where files are processed asynchronously instead of immediately. Each queued attachment has a status: Pending, Done, or Failed, plus a completion date and an error message field.
When a queue record is created, a background job is automatically scheduled to process it. Users can also act from the form: - "Manual run" starts processing right away (only when Pending or Failed). - "Reschedule" puts the record back to Pending and schedules a new job (only when Done or Failed). - "Set to Done" marks it as finished manually.
If processing fails, the status becomes Failed, the error is stored, and an email is sent to the addresses listed in the failure emails field using the "Attachment Failure notification" template. A wizard lets you reschedule several selected attachments at once.
The queue is available under the Queue Job menu, with list, form, and search views. Search filters include Pending, Failed, Done, My Documents, URL, and Binary, and you can group by owner, type, company, creation month, state, or file type. The model is linked to standard attachments and includes chatter and activities. Only managers (technical group) can create, edit, or delete queue records; regular users have read-only access.
