With this module you will receive a notification when you assign yourself to an object that has a responsible user, like the salesperson in leads/opportunities.

In general Odoo will notify other users in this situation, but not the own user who has performed the action.

But in certain situations it is better that you receive this notification, as a reminder sent to your mailbox that you are now responsible for that object.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Lets you choose which Odoo models should send you a notification when you assign yourself as responsible, so you get a reminder in your mailbox that you are now responsible for that record.

Normally, when you assign a record to yourself (for example, taking a lead or opportunity), Odoo notifies other followers but not you. This module adds a configuration screen where you list the models for which you want to receive that notification yourself.

  • Go to the Email menu and open "Notify Own Models". There you add one line per model, choosing from models that support messages (chatter). Each line has an Active switch, so you can turn the behaviour on or off without deleting the line.
  • Only users with administration rights can add, change or delete these lines; regular users can only view them.
  • When a record of a listed model is assigned and you are the new responsible person, the system changes the notification so that it is sent to you as a "you have been assigned" message, instead of being skipped.
  • The module works on all models that use the Odoo messaging system (mail.thread), so it can apply to leads, opportunities, tasks, projects and other records with a chatter.
  • No new reports or scheduled jobs are added; the change is limited to how assignment notifications are generated.
