Chatter Private Messages is a powerful Odoo addon that revolutionizes internal communications by enabling secure, private messaging directly within the chatter interface. Protect sensitive business information, maintain confidentiality, and ensure that only authorized users can access private communications.
✨ Key Features
Privacy Control
Easily mark messages as "Private" or "Public" with a simple dropdown. Private messages are automatically filtered and hidden from unauthorized users, ensuring complete confidentiality.
Recipient-Based Access
Private messages are only visible to the message author and explicitly added recipients. No one else can see or access private content, even if they have access to the record.
Smart Attachments
Attachments automatically inherit the visibility setting of their parent message. When you attach files to a private message, they become private automatically.
Universal Integration
Works seamlessly with all Odoo models that use mail.thread, including Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Customers, Projects, Tasks, and more.
Security First
Built with security in mind. Private messages are filtered at the database level, ensuring that unauthorized users cannot access sensitive information through any means.
Zero Configuration
Install and use immediately. No complex setup or configuration required. The addon works out of the box with your existing Odoo installation.
🔒 Privacy Control in Action
Experience seamless privacy control with our intuitive interface. The visibility dropdown appears right next to the Send button, making it easy to switch between public and private messages on the fly.
👥 How Recipient-Based Visibility Works
When you send a private message, only you (the author) and the users you explicitly add as recipients can see it. Other users with access to the same record will not see the private message, even if they can see other public messages in the chatter.
📎 Smart Attachment Handling
Attachments are automatically protected when attached to private messages. The system ensures that file visibility matches message visibility, providing a seamless and secure experience.
🔄 Integration Examples
Chatter Private Messages works seamlessly across different Odoo modules including Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Customers, Projects, Tasks, and many more. The visibility control appears automatically in any record that uses the mail.thread mixin.
