Odoo Dynamic User Notifications – Auto-Alert Specific Users on Record Creation or Update
Why Odoo's Default Notification System Falls Short
Odoo sends notifications through automated actions and followers but both approaches have limitations when you need targeted, real-time alerts on specific events. Automated actions require technical setup. Follower-based notifications are broad. Neither lets a non-technical admin quickly say: "Alert these three users the moment a new Sales Order is created" without writing code or building complex automation rules. The Dynamic User Notification module for Odoo by Creyox gives you exactly that a simple configuration interface where you define which Odoo model to watch, which event triggers the alert (creation or update), which users should receive it, and what type of notification they see. No development required.
Overview
The module adds a User Notify Configuration menu to Odoo where admins can create notification rules for any Odoo model. When a record in the configured model is created or updated, the selected users receive an instant in-browser notification either as a standard popup or as a sticky notification that stays visible until the user manually dismisses it. Each rule is fully configurable: choose the model, enable creation and/or update triggers, select the notification type, and pick exactly which users should be alerted. Multiple users can be selected per rule, and multiple rules can run simultaneously across different models.
