auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you decide, when sending a message from Odoo, whether the document's followers should be notified. A company-wide default can be set, and each message can override it.
When you send an email or log a message on a document (for example a sales order or invoice), Odoo normally notifies everyone following that document. This module adds a switch so you can turn that notification off for a specific message.
Where it appears: - In the message composition window, a "notify_followers" checkbox appears next to the sender field. If you untick it, a red warning explains that followers will not be notified but can still access the message from the document if they are allowed to. - In Settings, under the Emails section, a company-level option sets the default behaviour for messages sent by users.
Business rules and behaviour: - The company setting is stored on the company and is used as the default value of the checkbox each time the composition window opens. - When the checkbox is unticked, only the explicitly chosen recipients are notified; followers are filtered out of the notification list. - The checkbox is hidden when composing in mass mailing mode, so it only applies to normal messages.
It touches the message composition wizard, the company settings, and the general messaging mechanism used by all documents that support messages and followers.
