Your chatter, finally searchable and audit-ready.

Chatter History unifies messages, internal notes and tracked field changes into one searchable, filterable, sortable log — so you can answer who changed what, and when, without scrolling.

The problem

Once a record has been active for weeks, its chatter becomes a long, undifferentiated scroll. There is no search, no filtering, no sorting, and no structured before-and-after view of field changes — so finding out who changed the credit limit, or what the vendor said last, means scrolling the entire thread by hand.

The solution

Chatter History adds a one-click History button to every chatter. It generates a searchable, filterable, sortable log of that record's messages, notes and tracked field changes, with color-coded before-and-after comparisons, attachment previews and PDF export — built entirely on native Odoo chatter data.

Capabilities

Everything your chatter is missing

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

One-Click History Button

A History button appears in the chatter of every record. One click opens a searchable, filterable audit trail for that record — no scrolling through the native feed.

02

Works On Any Record

Built on mail.thread, so the history log works on CRM opportunities, sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, contacts, or any other chatter-enabled model — no per-app installs required.

03

Full-Text Search

Search across message bodies, field labels, authors and values at once, so you can find the exact note or change without scrolling the whole thread.

04

Filter By Type And Date

Narrow the log to messages, internal notes, notifications or field changes, and restrict to any date range, to isolate exactly the activity you need to review.

05

Flexible Grouping

Group entries by author, type, field, record or date with one click, turning a flat feed into a structured view for audits and handovers.

06

Color-Coded Field Changes

Every tracked field change is shown as a clear old-to-new comparison, color-coded by whether the value was added, modified or removed.

07

In-App Attachment Preview

Preview images, PDFs, audio and video attachments directly from the history line, without downloading a file or leaving the record.

08

Compliance-Ready PDF Export

Export the history of any record to a PDF report for audits, compliance sign-off or sharing with a team that does not use Odoo.

09

Configurable Defaults

Set the default sort order and choose whether notes, notifications and attachments are included, from a dedicated Settings block — once for the whole company.
