Keep every activity on schedule across your whole business
Automated deadline reminders, digests, and manager escalation for every activity across CRM, Project, Invoicing, Helpdesk, HR and beyond — configured from one discoverable settings screen, not a Technical menu.
The problem
Odoo's activity system schedules due dates but does nothing when they approach or pass. The only signal is a color change in a counter nobody checks, so sales follow-ups go cold, project milestones slip, and managers have no visibility into who on their team is falling behind until it is too late.
The solution
Activity Deadline Reminder watches every activity across every app and sends configurable email and in-app reminders ahead of the deadline, escalates anything left overdue to a manager, and logs every notification — giving individuals and managers one business-user-friendly place to see what is due, what is late, and what was actually delivered.
Everything a team needs to stop missing deadlines
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Cross-app reminders dashboard
A single list view surfaces every open activity across CRM, Project, Invoicing, Helpdesk, HR and any other app, with overdue, due-today, and upcoming color states plus days-left at a glance.
Manager kanban overview
Activities grouped by assignee in kanban, with an escalated badge, give managers visibility into who is behind before a deadline is missed — not just a self-service view.
Automatic overdue escalation
When an activity passes its configured escalation threshold it is routed automatically to the assignee's manager or a defined global contact, turning a passive reminder into accountability.
Per-user digest preferences
Each user chooses real-time, daily, or weekly reminders, their own lead time, and their preferred delivery channel from their own Preferences tab — no admin bottleneck.
Per-activity opt-in and opt-out
Any activity can override the lead time or be excluded from reminders entirely, so trivial tasks stay quiet while important ones keep alerting.
Delivery and read logging
Every reminder, escalation, and digest is logged with its channel, state, and read status, so a "reminder sent" claim is verifiable instead of assumed.
Bulk configuration wizard
Select any set of activities from a standard list view and enable, disable, or set a shared lead time across all of them in one action — no per-record editing.
Discoverable settings with onboarding
A plainly labeled Settings screen with a guided three-step setup gets a working reminder configuration running without developer knowledge or outside tutorials.
Reminder and digest email templates
Branded reminder, escalation, and daily or weekly digest emails deep-link straight to the underlying record so one click takes the recipient to the exact document.
How it works
Configure once
Set the master switch, default lead time, and escalation window in Settings, or accept the guided defaults.
Activities are watched automatically
Every activity across every app is covered from day one, with per-activity and per-user overrides available.
Reminders and escalations fire on schedule
Email and in-app notifications go out ahead of the deadline; anything left overdue escalates to a manager or contact.
Track it on the dashboard
Review status on the cross-app dashboard, kanban, or delivery log at any time to see what is due, late, or already sent.
