Telegram Scheduler & Auto-Retry

Schedule Telegram messages for later & auto-retry failed deliveries

Module Video Overview

Features

1 Create bots easily

Create and configure multiple Telegram bots directly within Odoo. Paste your BotFather token, verify the bot, and set up the webhook — all in one click. Supports multi-company: each company gets its own bot.

Create bots easily
Configure per model

2 Configure per model

Enable Telegram sending per Odoo model (Sale Order, Invoice, etc.). Whitelist allowed PDF reports, restrict which users can send, and set default templates — all from a single config screen.

3 Send from chatter

A Send Telegram button appears directly in the chatter of configured models. Open the wizard, pick recipients, write your message (or load a template), attach files, and send — without leaving the record.

Send from chatter
Dynamic Templates

4 Dynamic templates

Build reusable message templates with Jinja2 variables: {{ object.name }}, {{ partner.name }}, {{ company.name }}. Live preview & test render built-in. Supports Markdown & HTML formatting.

5 Inline keyboard buttons

Add clickable URL buttons directly in your Telegram messages: View Order, Pay Invoice, Visit Website. Configurable per template with row management.

Inline Keyboard Buttons
PDF and file delivery

6 PDF & file delivery

Attach QWeb PDF reports with one click. Send images as Telegram photos, other files as documents — the module detects the type automatically. Reports are whitelisted per model for security.

7 Schedule & auto-retry

Schedule messages for a future date/time. A background cron job sends them when due — and automatically retries failed deliveries up to a configurable max retry count. Never miss a message.

Message Logs

8 Full delivery tracking

Every message is logged with complete details: recipient, status (sent/failed/scheduled), timestamps, error info. Manual retry from the log view. Chatter summary posted on the source document.

9 Auto contact mapping

When a Telegram user sends /start to your bot, the webhook automatically maps their chat ID to the matching partner in Odoo. Zero manual setup for contacts.

Auto contact mapping
Bulk sending

10 Bulk sending

Send the same message to up to 50 recipients at once. Templates are rendered per-partner, so each recipient gets personalized content with their own name and details.

And much more...

Multi-Company

Each company gets its own bot. The system auto-selects the correct verified bot for the current company.

User Access Control

Restrict which users can send Telegram per model. If no users specified, everyone can send.

Secure Webhook

Auto-generated secret token for webhook validation. Only verified requests from Telegram are processed.

Template Preview

Live preview and one-click test render for templates. See exactly what your recipients will receive.

Manual Retry

Retry any failed message directly from the message log view. No need to recreate the message from scratch.

Global Settings

Configure default bot, enable/disable auto-retry, and set max retry count from Odoo’s Settings screen.

Chatter Audit Trail

After sending, a summary note is posted on the source document showing which recipients succeeded and which failed.

Markdown & HTML

Format messages in Markdown or HTML. Bold, italic, links, code blocks — all supported natively by Telegram.

Report per Template

Attach a PDF report action directly in the template. On send, the report is auto-generated and attached to the message.

Telegram Scheduler & Auto-Retry — Documentation

1. Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before installing, make sure you have the following:

Installation

  1. Upload the module folder to your server's custom addons directory.
  2. Restart the Odoo service to detect the new module.
  3. Navigate to Apps menu, click Update Apps List.
  4. Search for "Telegram Scheduler & Auto-Retry" and click Install.

Note

After installation, the Send Telegram wizard gains a new Scheduling section, and two background cron jobs are activated automatically.

2. Scheduling Messages

The module adds a Send Mode option to the Send Telegram wizard.

Send Now vs Schedule

When you open the Send Telegram wizard from any record's chatter, you will see:

Send Now:(Default) Messages are sent immediately when you click Send.
Schedule:Messages are queued and sent at the specified date and time by a background cron job.

How to Schedule

  1. Open the Send Telegram wizard from any record's chatter.
  2. Select the Schedule option under Send Mode.
  3. A Scheduled Date field appears — pick the date and time.
  4. Fill in recipients, message, attachments as usual.
  5. Click Send — messages are saved with Scheduled status.

Tip

Scheduled messages appear in the Message Logs with status Scheduled and a scheduled date. The cron job checks every 5 minutes for messages that are due.

3. Auto-Retry

The module automatically retries failed Telegram messages using a background cron job.

How It Works

  1. A cron job runs every 15 minutes to find messages with Error status.
  2. For each failed message, the system attempts to resend it.
  3. The retry count is incremented each time.
  4. If the retry count exceeds the max retries setting, the message is left as Error.

Configuration

Navigate to Settings > Telegram to configure:

Enable Auto-Retry:
 Toggle to enable or disable automatic retry of failed messages.
Max Retries:Set the maximum number of retry attempts per message (default: 3).

Warning

If auto-retry is disabled, failed messages will only be retried when you click the Retry button manually from the Message Logs.

4. Background Cron Jobs

This module installs two automated cron jobs:

Cron Job Interval Description
Send Scheduled Messages Every 5 minutes Finds scheduled messages that are due and sends them via the Telegram API.
Retry Failed Messages Every 15 minutes Finds failed messages within the retry limit and attempts to resend them.

Note

Both cron jobs run in the background. No user interaction is needed once configured. You can adjust the intervals from Settings > Technical > Automation > Scheduled Actions.

5. Message Log Enhancements

This module adds a Scheduled Date field to the message log.

Scheduled messages show:

  • Status: Scheduled (before due), Sent (after delivery), Error (if failed)
  • Scheduled Date: The date/time when the message is due to be sent
  • Retry Count: Number of retry attempts (incremented by auto-retry)

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My scheduled message was not sent at the exact time I specified.

A: The cron job runs every 5 minutes. Your message will be sent within 5 minutes of the scheduled time, not at the exact second.

Q: Can I cancel a scheduled message?

A: You can delete the scheduled message log entry before it is sent.

Q: Auto-retry keeps failing for a specific message. What should I do?

A: Check the error details in the message log. Common causes: recipient blocked the bot, invalid chat ID, or network issues. Fix the underlying issue, then retry manually.

Q: How do I disable auto-retry?

A: Go to Settings > Telegram and uncheck Enable Auto-Retry.
