You can create an account at [odoo.com](https://www.odoo.com/web/signup). Refer to the [Odoo API documentation](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/developer.html) for a list of available endpoints. ## Connect Odoo to Make To establish the connection, you must: 1. [Obtain your API key in Odoo.](docId\:aaBOMws31Uv0PntTpmFw7) 2. [Establish the connection in Make.](docId\:aaBOMws31Uv0PntTpmFw7) ### Obtain your API key in Odoo If you use the Odoo version 14 or higher, you must obtain an API key in your Odoo account. To do it: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Log in to your Odoo account. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to the **My Profile** menu. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go to the **Account Security** tab. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **New API Key**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Copy the **API key** value shown and store it in a safe place. ::: :::: You will use this value in the **API Key/Password** field in Make. ### Establish the connection with Odoo in Make To establish the connection in Make: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Log in to your Make account, add a Odoo module to your scenario, and click **Create a connection**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Optional: In the **Connection name** field, enter a name for the connection. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Host** field, enter your Odoo account's hostname. For example, if your account URL address is `https://www.xyz.odoo.com`, your hostname is `xyz.odoo.com`. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Login** field, enter your Odoo account credentials. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **API-Key/Password** field, enter either the API key you copied in the section above, or the password you use to log in to your Odoo account. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Database** field, enter the name of a database in your Odoo account that you want to connect to. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **Save**. ::: :::: You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more Odoo modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps [here](docId\:SO88FM6pkT0G-adKDDfzZ). ## Odoo modules After connecting to the Odoo app, you can use the following types of modules to build your scenarios. :::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} **Inventory Types** - Create an Inventory Type - Get an Inventory Type - Update an Inventory Type - List Inventory Types ::: :::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} **Inventories** - Create an Inventory - Get an Inventory - Update an Inventory - List Inventories - Delete an Inventory ::: :::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} **Batches Tracking** - Create a Batch Tracking - Get a Batch Tracking - Update a Batch Tracking - List Batches Tracking - Delete a Batch Tracking ::: ::::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} **Leads** - Create a Lead :::hint{type="warning"} You need to install the **CRM** app in Odoo to ensure the necessary table is created and fields are available. For more information, refer to [Apps and modules](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/applications/general/apps_modules.html) in Odoo documentation. ::: - Get a Lead - Update a Lead - List Leads - Delete a Lead :::: :::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} **Other** - Make an API Call ::: ::::::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} ## Example: Update a record using the Make an API Call module The following example shows how you can update a contact's job position and city in Odoo. **Step 1. Identify the model** First, you need to determine the name of the model you want to work with, as well as the name of the fields you want to update. Each object in Odoo has its own model name. For example: - Contact — **res.partner** - Lead —** crm.lead** To find the name of the model: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Log in to your Odoo account. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Navigate to **Settings** > **Technical **>** Models**. In this page, you can find all the objects you have in your CRM with their description. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem To find the Contact model, search "contact" and see the first model appeared. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/JOXHl7EhHB8sfT83rNvln_image.png) In the **Model** column, you can see the model name is **res.partner**. ::: :::: It's recommended to click on the model to see the details. With these details, you can confirm that it's the model you are looking for. You can also see the list of fields that is belong to the model. **Step 2. Find the record you want to update** Next, you need to find the record you want to update. In Odoo, each record has a unique ID. When you open a record in Odoo, you can see this ID directly in the page URL. To find the ID of a record: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Open the record you want to update. It will be the contact record in our example. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Check the URL in your browser’s address bar. The number at the end of the URL is the record ID. Example: If the URL ends with `/odoo/contacts/7`, the record ID is `7`. ::: :::: **Optional: Find the record ID using the Make an API Call module** You can also find the ID of the record you want to update using the Make an API Call module. To find the specific record's ID: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Log in to your Make account and add a **Make an API Call** module to your scenario. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Entity** field, enter the model name: **res.partner** ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Action** field, select **Search and Read** option. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Parameters** field, enter the following sample search for email addresses: ```javascript [[["email", "=", "jdoe@acme.com"]]] ``` ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/mVpL7ewn6B0Gfh4u6uDYr_image.png) ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Run the module. You can find the `id` value under the output bundle. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/DBg32g2XWs95C17rjdNfO_image.png) ::: :::: Once you have the ID of the specific record, you can update it using the **Make an API Call** module. **Step 3. Update the record using the Make an API Call module** Now that you know the model and the ID of the record you want to update, you can update its fields using the **Make an API Call** module. To update the record's fields in Odoo: :::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Add a **Make an API Call** module to your scenario. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Entity** field, enter the model name of the record you want to update. In this example, we use the model **res.partner**. ```none res.partner ``` ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Action** field, select **Update Records**. ::: ::::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Parameters** field, define the ID of the record you want to update and the fields you want to change in JSON format. Example: ```javascript [ [ 7, { "function": "Customer Service Rep", "city": "Paris" } ] ] ``` You must use the exact field names defined in the Odoo model. Field names are case-sensitive and must match what you see in **Settings** > **Technical** > **Models**. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/vZngD-4cY8IqBZBh7ue47_image.png) :::hint{type="info"} If you retrieved the record ID from a previous **Search and Read** action, you can map the `id` value directly from the module output into the **Parameters** field. ::: If the search returned only one record, Make will use the first item in the result. If the search returned multiple records, you should iterate through them before updating. :::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Run the module to update the specified fields for the selected record in Odoo. ::: ::::: Now we’ve updated the selected Odoo record by providing the record ID and field values in the Make an API Call module. ::::::
