Overview

The Tameson Odoo node for n8n allows you to interact with the Odoo API, specifically targeting various resources such as Contacts, Opportunities, Notes, and Custom Resources.
For the Contact → Get operation, this node retrieves detailed information about a specific contact from your Odoo instance using its unique Contact ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch up-to-date contact details for use in automations, reporting, or integration with other systems.

Practical examples:

  • Retrieve a contact's full profile before sending them an email.
  • Fetch contact data to synchronize with another CRM or marketing tool.
  • Display contact details in a dashboard or report.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Contact ID String (text) The unique identifier of the contact to retrieve. Required.
Options Collection Additional options for the request.
└ Fields to Include Multi-Options List of specific fields to include in the response. If left empty, default fields are returned.

Output

  • The output is a JSON object containing the contact's details as retrieved from Odoo.
  • The structure of the output depends on the fields selected in "Fields to Include". If no fields are specified, all default fields for the contact will be included.
  • Example output (fields may vary):
{
  "id": 123,
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john.doe@example.com",
  "phone": "+1234567890"
}
  • If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message.

Dependencies

  • Odoo API: Requires access to an Odoo instance with valid credentials (URL, username, password, database name).
  • n8n Credentials: You must configure Odoo API credentials in n8n under the name odooApi.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Credentials: If the Odoo credentials are incorrect, authentication will fail. Ensure the URL, username, password, and database name are correct.
  • Contact Not Found: If the provided Contact ID does not exist, the node may return an empty result or an error.
  • Field Selection Errors: Specifying invalid or misspelled field names in "Fields to Include" may cause errors or missing data in the output.

Error messages:

  • "Credentials are not valid": Check your Odoo credentials.
  • "Settings are not valid: ...": There may be a configuration issue; verify all credential fields.
  • "Cannot read property '...' of undefined": Likely due to an incorrect Contact ID or missing fields.
