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
