Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I have just found out that, if you are working in your laptop with a copy of a production db, app notifications still get sent, which means that, nonsense might be sent to actual users.
Does anyone know how we can prevent a test db from connecting to Odoo? Is there a "System Parameter" that needs to be changed? (database.uuid doesn't seem to do the trick)
;)
Hi Rui,
You just have to delete the Outgoing Mail Server(s) from your local database.
First, you need to enable the developer mode and then go to "Settings / Technical / Mails / Outgoing Mail Servers".
I referred "app notifications", not emails.
Any test db needs to have emails on (using a test mail server) as they are a fundamental part of Odoo.
Hi Rui:
Do the following to disable app notifications:
1. Activate Developer mode
2. Go to Settings > General Settings and disable/uncheck the "Push Notifications" checkbox in the "Odoo Cloud Notification" (v13) or "Mobile" (v14) section of the page (you will have to scroll down the page)
That should disable notifications to the mobile apps.
Thank you!
As long as you are not using the odoo.sh workflows, a copy of a production database is simply a copied database with all settings copied. You may want to follow Ray's advise to avoid unwanted actions. If you still need to send emails, set up a fake SMTP.
Meanwhile you may calm down.
And what is the action, what is the parameter, what is the method, what is the module that communicates with Odoo in order to send mobile phone app notifications?
How can I deactivate comunications to Odoo in order to send mobile app notifications?
It's all about mobile phone app notifications.
why not posting a new question which has a meaningful title and describes exactly what your issue is? So we can delete all the unnecessary noise.
I'm referring "APP notifications" right from the start and people keep talking about mail servers...
1. Use the live chat to ask your questions.
2. The operator answers within a few minutes.

Still missing the point. The problem here is that all is (and should be) working but dev-db should not communicate with the online service sending messages to the mobile phone app.
So, there must be a db parameter capable of disabling communicating with Odoo's server that delivers messages to people's phones.
Furthermore, I found out that this is happening because "User B" was created as a duplicate of "User A". "User A" always gets a copy of any notifications (mobile app) to "user B".
So disconnect your laptop from WIFI? Or use Odoo.sh? How are we to know which database is DEV and which is PROD?
