By default Odoo adds customer as follower to all orders. This module allows to disable this behaviour using General Settings.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

Adds a setting in Odoo Sales settings to stop the customer from being added automatically as a follower on sales orders. When enabled, customers no longer receive notifications about the order's messages.

By default, Odoo subscribes the customer to a sales order so they follow its messages. This module gives you a switch to turn that behaviour off.

Where it appears: - A new "Auto Follow" section in the Sales settings screen, with the option "Customer disable autofollow" and the explanation that the customer will not be added as follower automatically on sale orders.

What it changes: - When the option is enabled, the customer linked to a sales order is not subscribed as a follower when the order is created or when it is confirmed. - The setting is stored as a system parameter, so it applies globally to all sales orders. - The module touches the sales order model (sale.order) and the settings model (res.config.settings).

What it does not do: - It does not remove followers that were already added before the option was turned on. - It does not block manual subscription: users can still add the customer as a follower by hand. - It does not change any other sales order behaviour, prices, or confirmations.
