In the email/notes threads below the form views, the link 'Send a message' unfold a text field. From there, a button allows to open the text field in a full featured email popup with the subject, templates, attachments and followers.
This module changes the link 'Send a message' so it opens directly the full featured popup instead of the text field, avoiding an extra click if the popup is always wanted.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0When you click 'Send a message' on any record's chatter, Odoo now opens the full email composer popup directly instead of unfolding a small text box first, saving a click.
This module changes the behaviour of the 'Send a message' link found in the chatter (the message thread shown under forms such as contacts, sales orders, invoices, etc.). Normally, clicking that link first unfolds a small inline text field, and only from there can you open the full-featured email popup. With this module, clicking 'Send a message' immediately opens the full email composer window.
In that popup you get the usual email tools: a subject, email templates, attachments, and the list of followers/recipients. The module also keeps the draft you were typing: if you close the popup accidentally, your text is saved in the browser and restored when you reopen it, so you do not lose your message.
It also handles recipients that are not yet contacts: if you typed an email address that does not match an existing contact, Odoo creates the partner record before opening the composer. When the message is sent from the mailbox view, a small notification confirms it was posted.
This is a user-interface improvement only. It does not add new menus, reports, or database fields; it simply makes the existing chatter email workflow faster. It relies on the standard Odoo web and mail modules.
