Mail Announcements
Broadcast company-wide news to every internal user with a configurable scrolling banner at the top of the Odoo backend — and manage it all from a dedicated "Announcements" menu right inside the Discuss application.
See it in action
Active announcements scroll continuously across the top of the backend for every internal user.
A dedicated menu sits right between Channels and Configuration in Discuss.
Standard list and form views — title, message, schedule and target companies.
Background color, text color and scroll speed — configured once in General Settings.
Grant the Announcement Manager right from the user's Extra Rights tab to allow creating, editing and archiving announcements.
Key features
Active announcements scroll continuously across the top of the backend for every internal user — impossible to miss, never intrusive.
A new "Announcements" menu sits right between Channels and Configuration in Discuss — create, edit and review announcements with the standard list/form views you already know.
Set the banner's background color, text color and scroll speed from General Settings — no code, instant effect for everyone.
Plan announcements with start/end dates and target specific companies — perfect for time-bound notices in multi-company databases.
A brand-new "Announcement Manager" group controls who can see the menu and create, edit or archive announcements — independent from HR or any other app.
Title and message fields are fully translatable, so each user sees announcements in their own language.
How it works
Members of the Announcement Manager group create announcements from the dedicated menu in Discuss — each one can carry a title, a message, an optional start/end date, and a list of target companies.
On every page load, the module collects the announcements that are currently active (no schedule, or within their start/end window, and matching the user's company) and pushes them to the backend session for every internal user.
A lightweight banner component renders them as a continuously scrolling marquee at the top of the screen — built with the Web Animations API and respectful of prefers-reduced-motion accessibility settings.
Appearance (colors, scroll speed) is stored as system parameters and configured once from Settings → General Settings → Announcements — the change applies instantly for every user on the database.
