Dependencies

  • Odoo API: Requires access to an Odoo instance with API enabled.
  • Credentials: You must configure odooApi credentials in n8n, including:
    • Odoo URL
    • Database name
    • Username
    • Password

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Credentials: If authentication fails, ensure your Odoo URL, database, username, and password are correct.
  • Missing Required Fields: The "Name" property is mandatory; omitting it will cause errors.
  • Field Mapping Errors: Ensure that option fields like "Country Name or ID" and "State Name or ID" are set correctly, either by selecting from the list or providing valid IDs.

Error messages:

  • "Credentials are not valid": Check your Odoo credentials and try again.
  • "Settings are not valid: ...": There may be a misconfiguration in your Odoo connection settings.
  • "Cannot read property '...' of undefined": Likely due to missing or incorrectly structured input properties.
