In Short

Enterprise Community Odoo.sh

Private Thread is an Odoo 19 Discuss app (19.0.1.0.3). The tool for private communication without interrupting followers. Confidential messaging.

Need to email one person on a document without pinging every follower? Turn on Send privately and Odoo notifies only the recipients you pick. Other followers stay quiet, and portal users never see the message — so internal discussions stay confidential while the public thread stays clean.

Pricing

The current price of Private Thread is 38 (one-time purchase for Odoo 19, all-inclusive Odoo Apps Store price).

No additional paid dependencies are required: the price above covers the full functionality out of the box on top of a standard Odoo installation. There are optional add-ons that can extend this app; you can find the details under Package, add-ons, and pricing details.

Perfect for

Sales & support

Ask a manager for approval or clarify a detail with a colleague — without the customer seeing the side chat.

Multi-follower docs

Sale orders, tasks, and opportunities often have many followers. Private Thread stops accidental mass emails.

Confidential

Share pricing, HR, or legal notes only with chosen partners — never with the whole follower list or the portal.

Why teams choose it

Key benefits before you dive into the details

Send privately

One checkbox in chatter or the full composer — tick it and only the people in To receive the message.

Followers stay quiet

Other document followers are not notified. No accidental mass emails when you meant a one-to-one note.

Hidden from portal

Private messages use an internal subtype, so portal users never see them in the customer thread.

Smart recipient defaults

Turning the option on pre-fills the document's followers — edit the list down to exactly who should get it.

Any Odoo document

Works wherever chatter and mail templates work — sale orders, tasks, opportunities, and more.

Templates too

Send a quotation or system template privately first — e.g. for manager review — before the customer ever sees it.

Odoo Store feedback

What customers say about the app

Love the APP! Works Great & Even Greater Support!

This was exactly the app that I needed. Odoo Tools responded to request/bugs and fixed them right away. Top-notch! Make sure you check out their other apps also.

Where you send privately

Right in chatter

  • Next to the recipient list, tick Send privately before you post.
  • Followers of the document are added as editable recipients so you start from a full list and trim it.
  • After you send, the toggle resets — the next message defaults to a normal public reply.

In the full Compose Email wizard

  • Open Compose Email as usual and enable Send private.
  • Works with mail templates too — send a quotation or report only to the people who should review it.
  • Ideal when you need attachments, a full HTML body, or a template before the customer is involved.

How privacy is enforced

Dedicated Private Messages subtype

  • Private sends use the Private Messages subtype — internal, not followed by default.
  • Only the partners listed as recipients get the email/notification.
  • Regular document followers who do not follow that subtype stay out of the loop.

Backend history, portal blind

  • Messages remain visible in the backend chatter for your team's history.
  • Because the subtype is internal, portal users do not see those messages on the customer side.
  • Need the same control on invoices? Use the free Private Thread: Invoices extension for Send & Print.

What are the update policies of your tools?

According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:

  • Every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
  • Starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
  • Disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.

Please note that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.

How can I install your app on Odoo.sh?

The most straightforward approach is to use the Odoo store's built-in workflow:

1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh

2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Log in to your account, then click 'Create a new repo' or use an existing one. Please ensure your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project

3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click the Deploy button. In the pop-up window, submit the decision and click 'Continue.' This action will trigger the installation process.

These steps will install the app for your project's production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:

1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store

2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Ensure none of the app folders/files are ignored (i.e., not included in your repo's .gitignore). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh and may include some crucial items by default (e.g., /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions

3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or, if your settings assume that, wait until it is automatically built.

How should I install your app on my own server?
1. Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;
2. Re-start the Odoo server;
3. Turn on developer mode (technical settings);
4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
5. Find the app and push the button 'Activate'/'Install';
6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
I noticed that your app has extra add-ons. May I purchase them afterwards?

Yes, sure. Simultaneously, Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart, so you should exclude previously purchased tools to avoid double payment.

I deployed your app on Odoo.sh and see warning/error in tests

A red/orange warning does not influence the app's features. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests since the latter assume behavior that conflicts with our app's goals. For example, we change the price calculation, while the standard Odoo module tests compare the final price to a standard algorithm.

So, first of all, please check the deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?

If you still assume that the warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full list of deployed modules (including core and third-party ones).

May I buy your app from your company directly?

No, we only distribute the tools through the official Odoo apps store.

I would like to get a discount

Regretfully, we do not have the technical means to provide individual prices. 

May I install the app on my Odoo Online (SaaS) database?

No, third-party apps can not be used on Odoo Online. Unfortunately, Odoo SaaS blocks such a possibility.

Your tool has dependencies on other app(s). Should I purchase those?

Yes, our tool requires all modules marked in dependencies to work correctly. The price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.

What is the price for the module in US Dollars? Why did it change?

The price for our modules is set in euros. The Odoo store converts prices to other currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change when the exchange rate is updated.
