Overview
This node allows you to delete a Contact in Odoo via its API. It is useful for automating the removal of contact records from your Odoo instance directly from n8n workflows. Common scenarios include cleaning up outdated or duplicate contacts, or integrating with other systems where contact deletion needs to be synchronized.
Practical Example:
You might use this node in a workflow that listens for contact deletion events in another CRM and automatically removes the corresponding contact in Odoo by providing the Contact ID.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Contact ID | The unique identifier of the contact to delete. This value is required and must match an existing contact in your Odoo system. |
Output

- If successful, it typically returns a confirmation (such as a boolean or status).
- If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an
errorfield with the error message.
Example output on success:

"success": true
}

{
"error": "Contact not found"
}
]
