This module enhances Odoo's email communication with branding capabilities.

**Key Features:**

* **Comprehensive Email Branding:** Automatically applies branding to outgoing emails. This includes:
    * Displaying the correct brand logo, derived from the linked partner's image.
    * Setting the sender's company details (website, address, phone number) according to the selected brand's information.
* **Website Contextualization:** Dynamically adjusts the base URL for links within emails to reflect the website associated with a selected brand.
* **Brand Selection in Email compose wizard:** Extends the standard "Compose Email" wizard with a 'Brand' selection field. This allows users to explicitly apply a brand to outgoing emails, particularly useful when the originating record isn't directly linked to a brand.
* **Dynamic Logo Delivery:** Includes a custom controller to serve the appropriate brand logo in emails based on the selected brand context.

Use Cases / Context
===================

**In summary:**

The module prioritizes automatic branding based on the originating record.
If no brand is associated with the record, or if you need to override it, you can manually select a brand in the "Compose Email" wizard.
Ensure your brands are correctly configured with linked partners and logos for the branding to appear in your outgoing emails.

Usage
=====

**1. Defining Brands:**

* Navigate to **Contacts > Brands**.
* Create new brand records. For each brand, you can:
    * **Partner:** Link the brand to an existing partner (company). The logo displayed in emails will be derived from the image of this partner. Ensure the partner has a logo uploaded (visible in the contact form).
    * **Website:** Optionally specify a website URL associated with the brand. This URL may be used for links in emails.

**2. Automatic Email Branding (Based on Originating Record):**

* When sending emails from records that have a ``brand_id`` field populated (e.g., Sales Orders, Invoices, or other relevant models), the module will automatically attempt to use the branding associated with that record's brand.
* The email will display the logo of the linked brand, and any company details (website, address, phone number) in the email footer should correspond to the brand's partner information.

**3. Manual Brand Selection (Using the Compose Email Wizard):**

* When composing a new email (e.g., via the "Send message" button in the chatter or through other email actions), a **Brand** field will be available in the "Compose Email" wizard.
  ( The brand field is only available in the full view of the compose wizard. )
* Usefull if the originating record does not have a ``brand_id`` set, or if you want to use a different brand for this specific email:

    1.  Open the "Compose Email" wizard.
    2.  In the wizard form, select the desired brand from the **Brand** dropdown field.
    3.  Compose your email content as usual.
    4.  Click **Send**.

* The email sent will then use the logo and company details associated with the brand you selected in the wizard.

**4. Website Links in Emails:**

* If a website is defined for the selected brand, the module may use this website URL for any relevant links included in the email.

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

- If the brand module gets implemented more broadly this module could need extension to work properly, because not all
  odoo modules use the same mail templates
- Color the buttons & other elements in the email according to brand style.
