Quick Pin for Chatter Messages
Pin important chatter messages to the top of any Odoo record.
Overview
Quick Pin for Chatter Messages fixes a small but constant problem in Odoo: important notes get buried in long chatter threads. The module lets you pin any message or log note so it stays at the top of the conversation, instead of scrolling back through dozens of entries to find it.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module adds a pin icon next to each chatter message. One click pins it, another unpins it. It works across every model that uses chatter (mail.thread) — contacts, sales orders, invoices, projects, and more — so the same behaviour is available wherever your team logs notes.
The module is built on Odoo's own infrastructure. It uses the native pinned_at field to track pinned messages and the Odoo mail bus to update the chatter in real time, with a jump button that takes you to the original message in the thread.
Key features
-
One-click pin and unpin
Pin or unpin any chatter message or log note with a single click on the pin icon — no menus, no dialogs.
-
Pinned messages stay on top
Pinned items appear at the top of the chatter, so important notes are visible without scrolling through a long thread.
-
Works on every chattered model
The pin works on all Odoo models that include chatter (mail.thread) — contacts, sales orders, invoices, projects, and more.
-
Native pinned_at field
Pinned state is tracked using Odoo's own native pinned_at field, so there is no extra model or custom storage to maintain.
-
Real-time updates
Pinning and unpinning update the chatter instantly through the Odoo mail bus, so every user viewing the record sees the change at once.
-
Jump to the original message
A jump button on a pinned item takes you straight to the original message in its place in the thread for full context.
-
Clearer conversation threads
Quickly identify critical notes within long chatter threads, improving the visibility of key information across records.
