Private Chatter Messages
Send chatter messages, notes and files on any record that only the people you choose can see.
Overview
About this app
In standard Odoo every message in the chatter is visible to anyone who can open the record, and Send message notifies every follower. Discounts, salaries, complaints and internal remarks end up in front of the wrong people — so the real conversation moves to private email, outside Odoo.
Private Chatter Messages adds a lock button to the chatter. Click it, @mention the people who should see the message, and send. Only they see it, get notified and can open its files. Everyone else never knows it exists.
| Standard Odoo | With Private Chatter Messages |
|---|---|
| Every follower sees every message and file. | Click the lock and choose who sees the message. |
| Every follower is notified. | Only they are notified and can open the files. |
| Sensitive talks move to private emails, outside Odoo. | The conversation stays on the record. |
| No record of who agreed to what on the document. | Enforced on the server by Odoo's access rules. |
