An effective addition to your Odoo ERP environment for controlling notification settings and communication privacy is the Disable Auto Followers module. By default, Odoo adds followers to a variety of business documents, such as purchase orders, sales orders, invoices, and CRM records. These followers can be internal users, like managers or employees, or external parties, like customers or vendors. Although this is supposed to make collaboration easier, it frequently results in pointless alerts, cluttered chat rooms, and even the inadvertent disclosure of private company information to outside parties.

Businesses have complete control over Odoo's follower mechanism when this module is enabled. Teams can better manage communication by ensuring that no user is automatically subscribed to a document's chatter unless done manually. This is particularly useful for businesses that offer online updation services, need to maintain confidential internal discussions, or want to streamline live chat support by eliminating irrelevant chatter. Ultimately, this module helps create a cleaner, more secure, and focused communication flow, while still giving users the freedom to add followers when necessary.
