Notification Link
Bridge the gap between alerts and action. Add an instant, native "View Record" redirection button directly to Odoo popups and browser notifications, saving hours of manual navigation.
Eliminate operational friction and manual record searches
When team members receive standard Odoo alerts such as assigned tasks, pending invoices, or customer updates they are informed but disconnected. Navigating to the actual record requires searching databases, scrolling through chatter history, or switching back and forth between the Discuss app and core modules. This workflow breaks focus and delays critical decisions.
This module solves the friction by automatically patching Odoo's notification service. It injects a contextual "View Record" action directly into both live web-client notifications and native desktop alerts. Team members can launch the associated document with a single click.
By linking alerts directly to their destination, this module helps operations, sales, support, and administrative teams work faster, maintain focus, and coordinate tasks without clicking through complex menus.
Common Notification Workflows
- Sales & CRM: A sales manager receives a lead assignment notification and opens the CRM Opportunity in one click.
- Billing & Invoicing: Accountants open disputed invoices directly from automated system alert logs.
- Project Management: Team members navigate straight to their newly assigned tasks or issue tickets.
- Inventory & Logistics: Warehouse staff view incoming delivery orders or stock changes instantly.
Main Module Features
A lightweight, highly optimized enhancement that connects standard system messages directly to backend records.
Instant Record Routing
Resolves model metadata and record IDs dynamically to inject a direct link into Odoo popups, bypassing manual search filters.
Native Desktop Support
Overrides native out-of-focus notification handlers. When a browser notification is clicked, it automatically focuses Odoo and redirects to the document.
Glassmorphism UI Upgrade
Applies a beautiful SCSS overlay to Odoo alerts featuring backdrop blur, subtle shadows, and customized button layouts.
Zero Setup Required
Ready for immediate use out of the box. No settings, system parameters, or custom configuration flows to configure.
Universal Compatibility
Works across all Odoo apps (CRM, Sales, Accounting, Inventory, Purchase, Projects, and Helpdesk) using Odoo's standard mail thread notifications.
Thread Resolution
Automatically associates out-of-focus notification threads back to their source models, ensuring native redirect buttons are correctly rendered.
Under the Hood: JS Patches & Client-Side Action Routing
The module overrides Odoo's standard notification framework to dynamically process and direct record links without server-side lag:
- Odoo web.assets_backend: Extends Odoo's JS client assets, binding event listeners seamlessly during initialization.
- Client-Side Action Invocation: Leverages Odoo's native Action Manager (
env.services.action.doAction) to load target records directly inside the current view context, keeping navigation fluid and instant. - Target Validation: Checks for active
res_modelandres_id, filtering out channels (likediscuss.channel) to avoid routing errors.
Out-of-Focus & Browser Native Notifications
Enhances the browser notification layer so that background or minimized browser states don't hinder navigation flow:
- OutOfFocusService Override: Intercepts Odoo's native desktop notification triggers, appending relational document parameters (
res_modelandres_id). - Window Focus Binding: Registers click event listeners on browser alerts. Clicking them calls
window.focus()and opens the record instantly. - Graceful Fallbacks: Falls back to standard browser notifications if the target model context is missing, ensuring zero interference with chat messages.
