Further, you can specify the policy on how to handle Chatter notifications. So the notification aspects for the user operation can be defined as either Handle by Emails or Handle in Odoo. by choosing the emails (Handle by Emails), the notifications will be sent to your(the user) email address, which means the enabling this option will notify the user of the corresponding email IDs, and this is useful for the users who logs into the Odoo platform infrequently as they operate in the organization without major behoof of the Odoo platform.

It is calculated based on the user’s interactions with other users, such as comments and posts, as well as their activity related to tasks, projects, and documents. The higher the karma value, the more active the user is.
