:alt: View of the Preferences tab for Odoo Discuss.
On the :guilabel:`Discuss` dashboard, unread messages are visible in the :icon:`fa-inbox`
:guilabel:`Inbox`. :icon:`fa-star-o` :guilabel:`Starred` is where starred messages are stored.
:icon:`fa-history` :guilabel:`History` shows chatter updates for records in the Odoo database the
user has been assigned to, or tagged on.
By default, the :guilabel:`Notification` field is set as :guilabel:`Handle by Emails`. With this
setting enabled, a notification email will be sent by Odoo every time a message is sent from the
chatter, a note is sent with an `@` mention (from chatter), or a notification is sent for a record
that the user follows. Something that triggers a notification is changing of the stage (if an email\
is configured to be sent, for example if the task is set to :guilabel:`Done`).
Direct messages
===============
By choosing :guilabel:`Handle in Odoo`, the above notifications are shown in the *Discuss* app's
*inbox*. Messages can have the following actions taken on them: respond with an emoji by clicking
:guilabel:`Add a Reaction`, or reply to the message by clicking on :guilabel:`Reply`. Additional
actions may include starring the message by clicking :guilabel:`Marked as Todo`, or pinning the
message by selecting :guilabel:`Pin` or even mark the message as unread by selecting
:guilabel:`Marked as unread`.

Start chatting
==============
The first time a user logs in to their account, OdooBot sends a message asking for permission to
send desktop notifications for chats. If accepted, the user will receive push notifications on their
desktop for the messages they receive, regardless of where the user is in Odoo.
