In Short
Lost Messages Routing is an Odoo 19 Discuss app. The tool to make sure you have not lost any incoming messages.
Lost Messages Routing makes sure incoming emails do not disappear when Odoo cannot attach them to a document thread. Unrouted messages are collected in a dedicated Lost Messages menu where authorized managers can inspect, search, delete, or manually attach one or many emails to the correct Odoo record. Restrict the target models, notify responsible users as soon as a message is lost, and let administrators reroute ordinary Odoo messages when a conversation was attached to the wrong thread.
Perfect for
Email-driven sales and support teams
Perfect for teams that receive customer replies through catchall addresses and need every request, quote change, complaint, or follow-up email attached to the right Odoo document.
Companies recovering mail routing failures
Ideal when fetchmail, catchall aliases, or reply matching sometimes fail and managers need a reliable queue for reviewing and routing messages before customers are left waiting.
Odoo administrators needing controlled routing
Useful for admins who want model restrictions, manager-only access, notification rules, and the option to reroute stored messages when conversations end up on the wrong thread.

Why teams choose it
Key benefits before you dive into the details
Catch lost incoming emails
Stop catchall and fetch failures from disappearing. When Odoo cannot match an incoming email to a thread, the app marks it as a lost message instead of letting it go unnoticed.
Review one clear queue
Give managers a focused workspace. Unattached messages appear in the Lost Messages menu with sender, subject, date, body, and search tools to identify the right destination.
Attach messages to records
Route each email to the proper Odoo thread. Select the target model and record, attach the message, and keep the customer conversation where your team expects it.
Process messages in bulk
Clean the queue faster. Select several lost messages from the list and route them together to the same Odoo document through the mass action wizard.
Control allowed destinations
Keep manual routing disciplined. Restrict routing to selected mail-thread models, or leave the setting empty when managers may use any accessible threaded object.
Notify the right users
React before customers wait. Enable lost-message notifications and choose the internal users who should receive an email as soon as a new unattached message appears.

Awesome app! MUST BUY if you use Odoo!!!
The app helped us alot. Some our customers send us an email and got lost in the process. with Lost messages routing the messages got stored and we can place the mail into the correct corresponding process. plus excellent support from Odoo Tools with adding a new feature to send an e-mail to selected users whenever a lost message is found. 10/10!!

Control every lost message
A dedicated workspace for emails Odoo could not attach automatically
One queue for unattached emails
- Catch routing failures. Messages Odoo cannot match to an existing thread are marked as lost instead of being ignored.
- Use a dedicated menu. Lost Messages Managers get a clear place to review and clean the queue.
- Keep ordinary messages separate. Once routed, the message leaves the lost queue and remains available in Odoo messages.
Inspect before routing
- Review the message body. Open a lost email to check the content and understand which customer document it belongs to.
- Keep Extra Lost Details. The app preserves technical routing clues such as Recipients, To, CC, and In Reply To when Odoo provides them.
- Search by useful fields. Navigate by content, subject, and author to find the message that needs attention.
- Handle spam deliberately. Delete irrelevant records or simply untick the unattached flag when a message is not truly lost.
Route emails to the right document
Attach one message or many messages to the correct Odoo thread
Manual route wizard
- Open Route Manual. Launch the wizard from a message form or from the list mass action.
- Select the parent object. Choose the target model and record, then attach the message to that document thread.
- Recover the conversation. The email becomes part of the selected record history for future follow-up.
Batch routing for the same record
- Select several messages. Route one, several, or all visible lost messages from the tree view.
- Attach in one action. Add a batch of related emails to the same sales order, lead, contact, or other threaded object.
- Keep attachments with the message. Related attachments are moved to the selected record together with the routed email.
Restrict where messages can be routed
Let managers route only to approved Odoo models
Allowed Models setting
- Define routing destinations. Choose the models that may receive manually routed messages.
- Support real business flows. Use sales orders, opportunities, contacts, or any custom model with an Odoo communication thread.
- Stay flexible. Leave the list empty when managers should be able to route to any accessible threaded object.
Respect object access
- Do not bypass record rules. Users still need access to the target object before it appears in the wizard.
- Reduce wrong choices. Managers see only destinations that are both allowed for routing and visible to them.
- Keep administration simple. The configuration lives in the Lost Messages settings area.

Get notified the moment a message is lost
Warn responsible users before an unanswered email becomes a customer issue
Configurable alerts
- Enable notifications. Turn on lost-message alerts in the app configuration.
- Choose recipients. Select the internal users who should be warned about every newly lost message.
- Focus on action. The notification points users to the message that needs to be routed.
Useful notification content
- See the subject. The email subject identifies which message needs review.
- Read the body. The alert includes the message content so users can judge urgency quickly.
- Open and route. A direct link brings the manager to the lost message form for the next step.
Secure lost-message administration
Give routing rights only to the people who should manage unattached emails
Lost Messages Manager group
- Dedicated access right. Only users in the Lost Messages Manager group can open and manage the app menu.
- Available without developer mode. Assigned managers get a normal operational menu for daily processing.
- Assign carefully. Lost-message managers can see unattached emails, so the group should be limited to trusted users.
Rights still matter
- Target records stay protected. A user cannot route to a document they are not allowed to access.
- Admins keep technical control. System administrators can also route from the technical Messages menu in developer mode.
- Operational and secure. Daily managers get the queue while Odoo access rules continue to govern destination records.
Reroute messages when threads change
Move already stored Odoo messages to the correct conversation when needed
Not only lost messages
- Route ordinary messages too. Administrators can use the same manual routing action from the technical Messages menu.
- Fix wrong threads. Move a message when it was originally attached to the wrong order, lead, contact, or other document.
- Keep history usable. Place the existing message where the next user will naturally look for the conversation.
Useful for complex customer flows
- Multiple documents, one customer. Correct conversations when a client has several open records and an email lands on the wrong one.
- Same controlled wizard. Available destinations still follow configured models and Odoo access rights.
- Cleaner communication records. Keep message history meaningful for sales, support, and administration teams.
