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.

Prerequisite:  
You must have an Odoo Account, create one here
Create a Database and use users’ credentials to create a create a connection in Wiresk. 
  • 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 and 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.
Screenshot of Add apps screen, this show the setting for Odoo connection with red arrows pointing to different fields.

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


After linking Odoo to Wiresk, you can start creating your Flows.

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

Select the Trigger

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.
  • On the new screen, name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Triggers by clicking on the Wiresk 2025 05 02 at 15.00.40 Odoo Connection and Settings next to “All Triggers”.
  • 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 (for Odoo Triggers, refer to the Trigger settings below).

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 to your Flow

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 screen, click on the plus button (+) next to the Trigger icon.

  • Search or scroll down to select your apps Methods, then configure it settings (For Odoo Methods, see Methods list and settings in the step below).

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.

You can refer to “How to Create a Flow” tutorial for more detailed instructions, including step-by-step guidance on mapping and configuration.

What will start your automation…

Run Once Tab: This tab allows you to schedule a Flow to execute a single time at a specific date and time. This is ideal for one-time operations such as data syncs, cleanups, or initial configuration steps. After execution, the schedule will be automatically cleared unless rescheduled manually.

Run Tab: This tab is used to set up repeating schedules:

  • Repeat feature: This dropdown determines how long the automation will continue repeating based on the selected frequency (Minutely or Hourly). You can choose from:
    • Repeat Forever
      • The automation will continue to run indefinitely at the defined interval (e.g. every 15 minutes).
      • No end condition is specified.
    • Repeat for (x) Times
      • You set a specific number of repetitions.
      • Requires the field Number (x) of Repeat Times to be filled (e.g. 10 times).
    • Repeat Between Start & End Dates
      • The automation will run only within a defined date range.
      • Additional fields will appear to select start and end dates.
      • Useful for limited-time schedules like campaigns or batch jobs.
  • Daily at Multiple Times: Sets the Flow to run several times per day based on a minutely or hourly interval.
  • Daily: This allows a Flow to run x times per day at a specific time.
  • Weekly: This allows you to run a Flow weekly by selecting the days and time.
  • Monthly: This will monitor your Trigger every month on a defined date and hour.
  • Yearly: This will monitor your Trigger on a specific date and hour every year.
  • Specific dates: This will start your Trigger on specific dates and time.

For more details, see Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

After you’ve configured your Trigger parameters, select the “Use” button to fetch a live sample of data from the Trigger.

What it does:

  • Extracts real data based on your Trigger setup
  • Validates your parameters by showing if they match existing records
  • Prepares data for field mapping – the sample helps you map your Trigger output to your Method parameters in the Flow. Refer to FIELD MAPPING documentation.

Think of it as a preview step: it makes sure your Trigger is working and gives you real data to work with when setting up the rest of your flow.

Run your Flow at a Specific time or intervals automatically instead of being triggered manually or by events like Webhooks.

Retrieve multiple records from Odoo Database using Wiresk’s Query Builder.
A Query Builder allows you to create complex SQL queries without having to write any code.
This allows non-technical users to easily access and analyze data with a graphical user interface.
✓ When This Trigger is activated, the result of the Query can be use to Map your Methods.

Configuration Table:

Name*Retrieve Records using Wiresk’s Query Builder
Connection*Select your connection or create one Refer to how to create a connection.
Time outYou can additionally set the Trigger duration to limit the information processed per execution to optimize performance and resource usage.
Recurrence rule/scheduler*Set up your recurrence rule
Parameters
Entity* (Set of data that contain records)Select the Entity where the data records are located.
For example, “Calendar event“, “Email Thread“, or “Companies“.
Configure FilterThis tab enables you to define specific criteria to narrow down the records being retrieved.

What your automation will do…

ODOO Odoo Connection and Settings

Here, you will find all Odoo Methods available in Wiresk with their parameter descriptions.

After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow.
  • Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
