Odoo apps - Prevent Auto Followers and Auto Email

Overview

The Prevent Auto Followers and Auto Email app helps businesses manage follower subscriptions and email notifications more effectively by stopping Odoo from automatically adding customers and vendors as followers on records like Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Invoices. This is especially useful for organizations that want more control over when and how customers and vendors are notified about updates.

Key features

• Prevents the system from automatically adding customers and vendors as followers on sales orders, purchase orders, and invoices etc.
• Gives businesses the control to decide when notifications should be sent, reducing unsolicited emails.
• Easy-to-use configuration in General Settings of Odoo.

What is it?

The "Prevent Auto Followers and Auto Email" module significantly improves the management of followers and automatic notifications in Odoo. When documents such as orders, invoices, or purchase orders are validated or sent, Odoo automatically adds the relevant partners as followers and sends them emails. While this feature can be useful in some cases, it can quickly become a disadvantage for businesses that require more control over their communication flow.

Key benefits:

• Enhanced privacy and notification control: With this module, you can disable these automatic actions, giving you complete control over who becomes a follower and when emails are sent. Customers will no longer be automatically added as followers to an order or invoice, and suppliers will no longer receive unsolicited notifications about purchase orders. This helps prevent the sending of unnecessary or unwanted notifications, while still allowing you to manage subscriptions manually based on your specific needs.
• Optimized collaboration: This module enables your teams to focus on relevant communications, without being overwhelmed by automatic follower additions or unnecessary notifications. You can ensure that only those directly involved are informed of important updates, thereby improving the efficiency of communication within your organization.
• Ease of use and setup: Installing and configuring the module is straightforward, even for users with limited technical expertise. You can quickly disable automatic subscriptions and notifications, allowing you to tailor the experience according to your preferences and business needs.
• Scalable solution: As your business grows, this module helps you maintain organized and efficient management of followers and notifications, even as the number of documents and users increases. It ensures that your communication flow remains controlled and adaptable to your organization’s size and requirements.

This module is ideal for businesses with complex processes or those looking to reduce the volume of notifications sent to their partners. It provides smoother management, enhanced privacy, and more targeted, effective communication.
