Drag & drop emails to Odoo

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/social Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

This module was written to allow users to drag&drop emails from their desktop to Odoo.

It supports as well RFC822 .eml files as Outlook .msg (those only if an extra library is installed) files.

When the mail is dropped to an odoo record, it will automatically send a notification of that new message that has been added to all the existing followers. It is possible to disable this notification.

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

  1. save your emails on the desktop / somewhere in the file system
  2. drag them to your browser, and drop them on the chatter of the record you want to attach your email to

Known issues / Roadmap

  • most mail clients won’t allow you to drag mails directly from the mail client, you’ll need some plugin for that
  • for corporate environments, it might be feasible to support imap URLs and get the mail in question on the server side

faster way to generate the .msg.

Instead of opening the email then saving it to your hard drive file save as, then navigating to the depths of your file system , then making a folder then saving it  then going to the folder you have saved it to then dragging it,

Try this instead

always have a new calendar item open, with the body visible

Then, drag  email from the inbox list into an open calendar body,this will generate the .msg instantly, then drag that .msg  into odoo, saves about 10 steps
