Odoo is a powerful business management platform, and it can be even more powerful when integrated with other applications. This allows you to automate tasks, streamline your workflows, and get a more complete view of your business.

Wiresk makes it easy to connect Odoo to any application that has an API, including CRM systems, marketing automation platforms, and accounting software.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

  • On your Wiresk’s Dashboard, select your Group.
  • On the left panel, go to “My apps” and select Screenshot 2025 04 08 at 9.58.41 in the morning Odoo - Connection & Settings
  • Search the app name in the search field or select it in the apps list.

On the connection settings panel:

  • Give a name to your connection
  • Enter your Odoo Instance URL
    • (For example, the link of your Odoo domaine is https://wiresk.odoo.com/odoo, your Instance URL is https://wiresk.odoo.com)
  • Enter your Odoo Database Name, this name is also in your Odoo Instance URL, for example, https://wiresk.odoo.com, wiresk is your Database name
  • Enter the Odoo Username (User’s credentials from the Database)
  • Enter the Odoo Password linked to your username
  • Click on “Create App” button, voila! Your Odoo app is now created in Wiresk.

You can now use this Connection to create your Flows with Odoo.

Now that your app is linked to Wiresk, you’re ready to start building Flows.

Simple steps to create a Flow ↓
  • Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.
  • On the new screen, name the new Flow.

Add a Trigger that will start your Flow

Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • Click on the (+) button to open the Trigger settings side panel.
  • On the settings side panel, click on the “+ Add” button.

  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

  • Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings.
As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

Add a Method that will execute a task

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).
  • On the Flow builder, select the (+) plus button next the Trigger button.
  • Search or scroll down to select the app that will perform a task.
  • Configure the Methods settings, refer to it documentation in our Help Center.

On the right, the panel lists available apps and tools. A search bar is displayed at the top of the panel for filtering apps. Red arrows highlight the empty step placeholder, the search bar, and items in the app list.

Add Wiresk Tools to your Flow

If you want to build a complex Flow, Wiresk offers a selection of tools at your disposal. Refer to Wiresk’s Tools

To add Tools in your Flow, Follow the same step as adding the Methods.

  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) then just click on the “Tool” tab and select the Tool that you want to add.
