send_direct_message
Send a private message to an Odoo user that appears in their chat systray, persists for offline users, and bypasses email notifications.
Instructions
Send a 1-to-1 Discuss message that appears in the user's chat systray.
This is the tool for "tell X", "message X", "warn X". It opens the private
chat with that user — reusing the existing one, channel_get matches on
the exact pair — and posts there. The bus pushes it in real time and it
persists, so a recipient who is offline finds it on their next login.
It reaches them whatever their notification setting says, and sends no
email at all. That is the difference from notify_user, which follows the
recipient's preference and lands in the Inbox bell instead.
Args:
user_id: res.users id of the recipient — from list_message_targets.
message: the body, plain text or simple HTML.
