FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before installing.

Does it work on Odoo.sh? +

Yes. Fully compatible with Odoo.sh, on-premise, and Community editions. No external services required.

Does it require configuration after install? +

Yes, but it takes 30 seconds. After installation, all toggles are off by default (native behaviour preserved). Go to Settings → General Settings, scroll to "Disable Auto Followers", and enable the toggles you need. Click Save.

Will it remove existing followers from my records? +

No. The module only prevents new automatic follower additions. Existing followers on your records are never touched. You can safely install it on a production database.

Can I still manually add followers? +

Yes, always. The "Add Followers" button on any record works exactly as before, regardless of which toggles are enabled. Only Odoo's automatic subscription is blocked.

Why should I disable auto-followers? +

Fewer unwanted emails, less noise. By default, Odoo subscribes customers, vendors, and internal users to records automatically. This generates email notifications for every chatter message, status change, and internal note. For busy teams with hundreds of orders, this creates massive email volume and inbox fatigue — for your customers and your own team.

What modules does it depend on? +

sale, purchase, account, stock, mail. All standard Odoo modules. No third-party dependencies.

Settings → General Settings

Configuration

After installation, go to Settings → General Settings and scroll to the Disable Auto Followers section. Enable the toggles you need and click Save. All toggles are off by default.
