Overview

This node integrates with the Odoo API, allowing users to perform various operations on Odoo resources such as creating, deleting, retrieving, updating records, and triggering workflow actions. It is useful for automating business processes and managing data within an Odoo ERP system. For example, users can automate the creation of new customer records, update product information, or trigger workflow transitions in Odoo directly from their workflow automation.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new customer record in Odoo when a form is submitted.
2. Retrieve and update inventory data from Odoo automatically.
3. Trigger a workflow action in Odoo based on an external event.

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the Odoo record
• fields - Fields and their values of the Odoo record
• error - Error message if an operation fails and continueOnFail is enabled

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include authentication failures due to incorrect credentials or URL, which result in errors when connecting to the Odoo API.
• Errors may occur if the specified resource or operation parameters are invalid or missing.
• If continueOnFail is enabled, errors for individual items are returned in the output with an error message property; otherwise, the node execution stops on the first error.
