Make notification email more user friendly

I do not like this proposal.For me, it overlaps with sending email from the client but with less flexibility.

Yes, it may be seen as a simple implementation using a wizard.

But for me it also overlaps with automation of notification_email or marketing automation. When the number of records to send is low some users prefer to do it manually instead of automating.

@SISalp

I think this would fit my generic objective to speed up and standardize the way I send proposals, orders and invoices to my customers.

@SISalp Won’t we better to automate your porses. For example, you can use the following notifications:

• For proposals: When a sale is quoted
• For orders: When a sale is confirmed
• For invoices: When a invoice is posted

This will remove the need of having a button to manually send them.

@ced

Also the notification does not give any feedback about sending or not the email.

This is a bit of topic, but I normally include the write_user of the record as BCC, so the user recieves a copy of the email that has been sent.

@ced

Now it may happen that a notification was not sent or wrongly sent, so we want to re-send it. In this case I think we should allow administrator to force a trigger on a specific record. But I do not see this as a feature for the casual user.

Yes, this is re-send email notification but I think this is only required when there is no email found for the recipient. Otherwise it won’t make sense to re sendit.
