Turn every task into an email your team and clients actually read

Compose and send branded task emails to assignees, followers, managers and external contacts — with auto-notifications, overdue escalation, digests, opt-outs and inbound email-to-task routing, all from inside Odoo Project.

The problem

Odoo's native task notifications live in the chatter, which only reaches people logged into Odoo. The moment a subcontractor, client or supplier needs task details, teams fall back to manual copy-paste, brittle Automated Actions, or third-party tools — and there is still no way to email an entire task's stakeholder group in one action or turn a reply back into an update.

The solution

Task Send By Email adds a guided setup wizard, curated recipient groups and a one-click send-with-preview action to every task — plus automatic notifications, overdue escalation, digests, quiet hours and opt-outs to keep inboxes calm, and inbound routing rules that turn incoming email into triaged, assigned tasks.

Capabilities

Everything a task-email workflow needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

One-Click Send by Email

Compose and send a task's full details straight from the task form — no context switch, no copy-paste — with a header button and a bulk-send action for multiple tasks at once.

02

Curated Recipient Groups

Assemble a reusable stakeholder group — assignees, followers, project manager, customer and ad-hoc external addresses — and reuse it across every task in one click.

03

Pre-Send Preview

Review the fully rendered, personalized email — with attachments and per-send exclusions — before it leaves Odoo, so nothing reaches an external recipient by mistake.

04

Automatic Assignment & Stage-Change Notifications

Fire an email automatically when a task is assigned or moves stage, respecting each user's own Odoo notification preferences so nobody is double-notified.

05

Overdue Escalation

Automatically email the project manager, assignees or a chosen contact the moment a task passes its deadline — and never send the same escalation twice.

06

Digests & Quiet Hours

Consolidate task updates into a daily or weekly digest and hold non-urgent emails until business hours, so notification volume never becomes noise.

07

Opt-Outs & Per-Send Blacklists

Let any recipient or address unsubscribe from task emails globally or per project, and exclude specific people from an individual send.

08

Guided Setup Wizard

A step-by-step wizard walks admins through outgoing mail server status, inbound email alias configuration and deliverability guidance — the setup friction that stalls every competing app.

09

Inbound Email-to-Task Routing

Turn incoming email into triaged tasks automatically — assigning project, owner and tags by routing rule, detecting priority from subject keywords, and collapsing duplicate threads.

Workflow

How it works

1

Configure

Run the guided setup wizard once to confirm your outgoing mail server, connect an inbound alias, and choose auto-notify, escalation and digest defaults.

2

Build Recipient Groups

Save reusable stakeholder groups — assignee, followers, manager, customer, external contacts — so you never rebuild a recipient list twice.

3

Send & Track

Send a task by email with one click, preview it first, and watch delivery status land on the task's Email Log smart button.

4

Let Automation Handle the Rest

Assignment and stage-change notifications, overdue escalations, digests and inbound routing keep running on their own, quietly, in the background.

It works with any outgoing mail server configured in Odoo. The guided setup wizard checks whether one is configured and gives you clear guidance either way — there is no hidden dependency on a specific provider.
