Smart Alerts v.14
The tool to draw users' attention to important document warnings and details
Smart alerts are used to advise and warn users who work with documents of certain types and kinds. The tool let prepare an alarm for almost any use case and catch attention at the most suitable moment: when users work with a document form view. This Odoo app is a powerful tool to comfortably configure Odoo alerts to caution and to communicate any message.
Alerts for any business work flow
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 each model and object
General and specific warnings
Flexibly restrict documents for alerts. You can apply filters 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), etc.
Catchy announcements
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, when you switch to a next record, etc.
Indicative appearance
There are 4 types of alert styles: danger (red), warning (yellow), info (blue), success (green). Inside 'Warning text' and 'Alert title' use also HTML tags. Make text bold or add links. Avoid using complex HTML not to break layouts. Simple tags as fa icons, 'a', 'strong' are absolutely safe to use
Secured alerts
Configure warning to show only for specific groups. For example, invoke alert only for sales administrators but not for simple sales persons. The right to configure alerts belongs to the special user group - 'Other / Smart Alerts Admin'
Compatible with standard Odoo features
Alerts might be translated and, then, would be shown on a current user language. The tool is also compatible with multi companies: each branch would have an own list of alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions about Smart Alerts Odoo v.14
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.
Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;
Re-start the Odoo server;
Turn on the developer mode (technical settings);
Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
Find the app and push the button 'Install';
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).
No, we distribute the tools only through the official Odoo apps store
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.
