Real-Time Chat

Group channels and direct messages with threaded replies, emoji reactions, pinned messages, message editing & deletion, voice note recording, link preview with OG metadata, and live typing indicators.

Video & Audio Calls

WebRTC peer-to-peer calls with mute, camera toggle, front/rear switch, HD quality mode, lock-screen incoming call notifications, ringtone, and background call support. Echo cancellation & noise suppression built in.

Business Dashboards

7 live dashboard cards — HR & Leave, Attendance, Projects, CRM, Sales, Expenses and Purchase — all pulling real-time data from Odoo. Cards render only when the corresponding module is installed.

Push Notifications

Firebase FCM push delivery for new messages — works even when the app is closed. In-app notification centre with mark-read & delete, configurable notification sound, and full-screen incoming call alerts on the lock screen.

Team Directory & Profiles

Full Odoo partner directory, one-tap DM & call initiation. Rich user profile sheet with org chart (manager + direct reports), phone/mobile dial buttons, and offline cached profiles.

HR, Attendance & Time Off

Check in / check out with a single tap. Submit time-off requests with leave type dropdown, date picker & reason field. View leave balances, 30-day attendance history, and upcoming public holidays.

File & Media Sharing

Share images, videos, documents and voice recordings. Files upload via multipart POST and are stored natively in Odoo IR attachments. Link preview cards for shared URLs using Open Graph metadata fetched server-side.

Portal User Access

Employees who are Odoo portal users (not internal users) can use all messaging, HR & dashboard features via a secure sudo bridge. No extra internal user license required.

Security & Privacy

Biometric app lock, Odoo session-based authentication, strict IDOR protection on all write endpoints (users can only edit/delete their own messages), channel membership checks for file uploads, and permission-aware UI rendering. Forgot password flow triggers Odoo's built-in reset email without exposing user enumeration.

30+ Mobile API Endpoints

Mobile-optimised REST/JSON-RPC routes covering channels, messages, contacts, avatars, user profiles, notifications, HR, attendance, leave, and all seven dashboard modules. Separate type='json' (Odoo 18) and type='jsonrpc' (Odoo 19) builds.

Firebase Push Delivery

Device token registration & lifecycle management via a custom messenger.device.token model. FCM delivery on new Odoo messages. Weekly garbage-collection cron removes stale tokens automatically.

WebRTC Signalling Helpers

Join/leave call helpers wrap Odoo's built-in RTC system, normalise the Rtc.selfSession / localSession response differences between v18/v19, and relay SDP offers/answers & ICE candidates over Odoo's long-polling bus.

Portal User Security Bridge

_is_portal(), _env() and _check_channel_access() helpers grant portal employees scoped sudo access while enforcing channel membership and author ownership on every write operation — preventing IDOR attacks.

Business Dashboard APIs

Dedicated endpoints for HR (employee info, leave summary, mandatory days), Attendance (today + 30-day history, check-in toggle), Projects, CRM, Sales, Expenses, and Purchase. Returns {'error': 'module_not_installed'} gracefully if an Odoo app is absent.

Admin Device Panel

Backend list & form views for all registered mobile devices, FCM token status, and platform information — visible to administrators under Settings → Discuss → Mobile Devices in Odoo's admin interface.

Step 1 — Install coturn

Step 2 — Enable coturn

Remove the # from #TURNSERVER_ENABLED=1. Save with Ctrl+X → Y → Enter.

Step 3 — Configure /etc/turnserver.conf

listening-port=3478
tls-listening-port=5349
external-ip=YOUR_SERVER_PUBLIC_IP   # ← change
lt-cred-mech
realm=yourdomain.com                # ← change

max-port=65535
log-file=/var/log/coturn.log

no-multicast-peers

Step 4 — Open Firewall Ports

Step 5 — Start & Test

Test at webrtc.github.io/samples trickle-ice — look for a relay candidate to confirm TURN is working.

Step 6 — Add to Odoo ICE Servers

Settings → Activate Developer Mode → Technical → Discuss → ICE Servers

Managed PaaS environments don't allow installing background services or opening thousands of UDP ports. Use a separate $5/month VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr) running coturn, or a managed TURN provider (Twilio Network Traversal, Metered TURN). Add those credentials to your Odoo ICE Servers list.
