This module adds the possibility to choose if you want to automatically add new recipients as followers on mail.compose.message.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a checkbox to the Odoo email composer so you can decide whether the extra recipients of a message are automatically added as followers of the record you are writing on.
When you send a message from Odoo (for example from a customer, a sales order or any record that supports messages), the email composer window normally adds the new recipients as followers of that record. This module gives you the choice.
- A new checkbox "Make recipients followers" appears in the composer, right after the recipients field.
- If you tick it, the additional recipients are added as followers of the related record; if you leave it empty, they are not.
- The checkbox is hidden when you are in mass mailing mode, so it only applies to normal messages.
The default value of the checkbox follows the context flag mail_post_autofollow, which is how Odoo already signals that automatic following is wanted. When the message is actually sent, the module passes your choice to the standard sending process, so the behaviour of the message and its followers matches what you selected.
It only touches the email composer (mail.compose.message) and does not change any other screen, report or scheduled action. No new menus are added; the change is visible directly inside the existing message composition window.
