This module shows email notification tracking status for any messages in
mail thread (chatter). Each notified partner will have an intuitive icon just
right to his name.

**Table of contents**

.. contents::
   :local:

Installation
============

If you're using a multi-database installation (with or without dbfilter option)
where /web/databse/selector returns a list of more than one database, then
you need to add ``mail_tracking`` addon to wide load addons list
(by default, only ``web`` addon), setting ``--load`` option.
For example, ``--load=web,mail,mail_tracking``

Configuration
=============

As there can be scenarios where sending a tracking img in the email body is
not desired, there is a global system parameter
"mail_tracking.tracking_img_disabled" that can be set to True to remove
the tracking img from all outgoing emails. Note that the **Opened** status
will not be available in this case.

Usage
=====

When user sends a message in mail_thread (chatter), for instance in partner
form, then an email tracking is created for each email notification. Then a
status icon will appear just right to name of notified partner.

These are all available status icons:

.. |anonuser| image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/social/16.0/mail_tracking/static/src/img/anon_user.png
   :width: 10px

|unknown|  **Unknown**: No email tracking info available. Maybe this notified partner has 'Receive Inbox Notifications by Email' == 'Never'

|waiting|    **Waiting**: Waiting to be sent

|error|    **Error**: Error while sending

|sent|    **Sent**: Sent to SMTP server configured

|delivered|    **Delivered**: Delivered to final MX server

|opened|  **Opened**: Opened by partner

|cc|  **Cc**: It's a Carbon-Copy recipient. Can't know the status so is 'Unknown'

|noemail|  **No Email**: The partner doesn't have a defined email

|anonuser|  **No Partner**: The recipient doesn't have a defined partner


If you want to see all tracking emails and events you can go to

* Settings > Technical > Email > Tracking emails
* Settings > Technical > Email > Tracking events

When the message generates an 'error' status, it will apear on discuss 'Failed'
channel. Any view with chatter can show the failed messages
too.

* Discuss

* Chatter

  .. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/social/16.0/mail_tracking/static/img/failed_message_widget.png

You can use "Failed sent messages" filter present in all views to show records
with messages in failed status and that needs an user action.

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

* Integrate with the core `mail.notification` model. A soft way would be to write a
  notification event along with the mail.tracking.event ones. Another way could be
  to merge both models and build the module features on top of it. This might imply
  a refactor though.
