Support and sales teams answer the same questions dozens of times a day, and in native Odoo every agent retypes those answers from scratch. Odoo Discuss and the mail.compose.message wizard ship no reusable-snippet mechanism at all; the helpdesk module offers only a thin "canned responses" list keyed on a /shortcut in Discuss, with no categories, no access control, no placeholders beyond a couple of fields, no analytics, and no versioning. The result is inconsistent, off-brand replies, slow onboarding for new agents, and answers that drift as no one owns the wording. When teams try to standardise, they end up pasting from a shared document outside Odoo entirely, breaking the thread context Odoo is supposed to give them.

We build a Canned Replies & Snippet Library that lives natively inside Odoo and plugs into every messaging surface. The core is a new mail.canned.reply model (extending Odoo's own where present on 17.0/18.0/19.0) carrying a rich-text body_html, attachments via ir.attachment, a many2one category_id, an owning user_id for personal snippets, and a shared/team flag. Dynamic placeholders — customer name, company, order reference, agent signature — are rendered through QWeb against the active record context at insert time, so <t t-out="object.partner_id.name"/> resolves correctly whether the reply is fired from a helpdesk ticket, a sales order chatter, or a raw Discuss channel. A /shortcut trigger and an OWL quick-search insert palette in the composer let agents drop the right reply in two keystrokes. Access is governed by ir.model.access.csv plus record rules tied to res.groups, so a category can be restricted to, say, the Finance team while personal snippets stay private to their user_id.

Beyond insertion, the module adds the operational layer native Odoo lacks. Each canned reply supports multi-language variants (a child model keyed on res.lang) with automatic language selection from the recipient's partner.lang, so a reply inserted for a French customer renders in French with no agent decision. Usage is tracked in a mail.canned.reply.usage log feeding computed fields (@api.depends) and reporting views: most-used replies, per-agent usage, and a stale/unused snippet report driven by an automated action. Every reply carries a version history with restore, and an optional approval workflow (a state field with draft/pending/approved plus a manager res.groups gate) lets the shared library be curated before snippets go live. Bulk import/export of snippets in CSV/HTML covers onboarding and migration, and the whole model is reachable over XML-RPC/JSON-RPC for programmatic seeding. It builds only on base and mail, so it runs on Community and Enterprise alike; Enterprise-only surfaces such as the helpdesk composer are wired conditionally when those apps are installed.

Because this is build-to-order, you receive a version scoped to your Odoo edition, version (17.0, 18.0 or 19.0) and messaging surfaces — not a generic download. After a short scoping call we confirm which surfaces (Discuss, mail compose, unified inbox, helpdesk), your category/access model, placeholder set and language matrix, then build, test on a staging copy of your database, and hand over installable source plus documentation. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company access rules, deeper localization and language-variant coverage, custom placeholder logic, and bulk migration of an existing snippet corpus increase the quoted scope.
