Smart alerts are used to advise and warn users who work with documents of certain types and kinds. The tool let you prepare an alarm for almost any use case and catch attention at the most suitable moment: when users work with a document form view. Despite of real simplicity to configure alerts, the app will become a powerful tool to caution and to communicate any message.

Prepare alerts for any Odoo document type: sale orders, opportunities, contacts, pickings, so, any existing in your database. There might be an unlimited number of warnings for a record

Choose which documents of this type should have alerts using the dynamic domain constructor. You can apply restrictions by any storable field. For example, make announcements only for quotations (not sale orders), warn of invoices with total between 500 and 1000, pay attention only for suppliers (not customers), and so on.

Alerts are located above a form view to always meet the eye of any user who opens this document. Such warnings are updated each time a form is reloaded: when you open a record, when you save a document (including any button clicked), when you switch to a next record, etc.

There are 4 types of alert styles: danger (red), warning (yellow), info (blue), and success (green)

Display alerts, if you want, only for pre-defined user groups. For instance, show a warning not for all sales people, but only for sales managers. Take into account, however, that any sales manager always has rights of sales user

Alerts might be translated and, then, would be shown on a current user language

The tool is compatible with multi companies: each branch has an own list of alerts

The right to configure alerts belongs to the special user group – 'Other / Smart Alerts Admin'. You can assign any user to do that job, but make sure he/she has read rights for a target Odoo model

Beside text warnings, you may use simple HTML tags like links, underlining, etc. Look at the tab 'Configuration'

Smart alerts might be of use in any sphere. You decide criteria when a warning should be shown. Simply choose a document type, filter them by any storable data, and prepare a catchy warning text. Here are just a few examples:
  • Sales orders: to warn of the certain peculiarities of a sold product. E.g. that a product is not any more manufactured and can be sold only from existing stocks
  • Purchases: to make announcement for accountants that invoices with total more than 5000 should be approved by a financial manager
  • Opportunities: to attract attention to company policies in relation to a chosen customer, for example
  • Contacts: to caution a user of entering or checking certain information
  • Manufacturing: to remind users of relying upon new production technology while manufacturing a definite product

HTML tags

Inside the fields 'Warning text' and 'Alert title' you can use raw HTML tags. Thus, you can make a text bold or add a clickable link. Avoid using complex HTML structures as div containers not to spoil form view layout. Simple tags as fa icons, 'a', 'strong' are absolutely safe to use

In order the widget works correctly, re-start Odoo server. If you faced the error 'Qweb2: Template is not found': restart Odoo server > refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R)

Frequently Asked Questions about Smart Alerts Odoo v.11

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.

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

The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store 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. Login to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please, make sure, that 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 on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click 'Continue'. The action will trigger the installation process.

These steps will install the app for your project 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. Make sure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add by default some crucial items there (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 wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.

  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 the developer mode (technical settings);

  4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);

  5. Find the app and push the button 'Install';

  6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.

Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.

A red/orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.

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

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

Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.

No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.

Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.  

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

Bug reporting

In case you have faced any bugs or inconsistent behavior, do not hesitate to contact us. We guarantee to provide fixes within 60 days after the purchase, while even after this period we are strongly interested to improve our tools.

No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.

Please include in your request as many details as possible: screenshots, Odoo server logs, a full description of how to reproduce your problem, and so on. Usually, it takes a few business days to prepare a working plan for an issue (if a bug is confirmed) or provide you with guidelines on what should be done (otherwise).

Public features requests and module ideas (free development)

We are strongly motivated to improve our tools and would be grateful for any sort of feedback. In case your requirements are of public use and might be efficiently implemented, the team would include those in our to-do list.

Such a to-do list is processed on a regular basis and does not assume extra fees. Although we cannot promise deadlines and final design, it might be a good way to get desired features without investments and risks.

No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.
