Odoo integrations, system by system

This is the index: one page per system, each covering what actually syncs, which way it travels, the decisions we settle in week one, and where the connector genuinely does not reach.

Odoo exposes its whole data model over an external API, so whether a system can be connected is rarely the question. For the service behind these pages — scoping, build and support — see Odoo integration services.

What actually makes an Odoo integration work?

Agreement, not code. Connecting two systems is the easy half. The half that decides whether the integration still works in a year is a set of plain decisions: which system owns each field, what key pairs a record on both sides, what happens when both change the same thing, and who is told when a message fails. Teams that write those down on day one get an integration that survives. Teams that start with the connector get one that quietly diverges.

Ask any integration partner what happens when the other system is down for an hour. If the answer is not "the messages queue, retry and alert someone", the integration will lose data and nobody will notice for weeks.

Direction of truth
Which system owns a field. Decided per field, not per system. Every later argument traces back to this.
Matching key
The stable identifier pairing a record on both sides. Matching on a name creates duplicates within weeks.
Idempotency
Running the same message twice without creating two records. Required the moment retries exist.
Error queue
Failed messages held with their reason, replayable, with an alert and a named owner.
Expertise · what we settle regardless of system

Six decisions every integration gets wrong the same way

These appear on every integration page below because they matter whichever system you are connecting. None of them is technical, and all of them are cheap now and painful once two systems have been exchanging records for a month.

  1. Which system owns each field

    Decided field by field rather than system by system. Price might belong to the ERP while the product description belongs to the store, and writing that down settles most later disputes.

  2. The matching key

    A stable identifier held on both sides — an SKU, an external id — never a company name or an email alone. Name matching looks fine in testing and duplicates records in production.

  3. What happens on conflict

    When both sides changed the same field since the last sync, something has to win. Last-write-wins is a decision to take deliberately, not a default to drift into.

  4. How often, and triggered by what

    Push on change or pull on schedule, and at what frequency. This drives cost, load and the rate limits you will run into far more than the field count does.

  5. What happens when it fails

    Retry with backoff, a queue holding the payload and the reason, an alert when the queue grows, and a named person who clears it. Integrations do not fail loudly; they fail quietly.

  6. Who owns it in a year

    The most common cause of a broken integration is not a bad build. It is that the person who watched the queue changed role and nobody replaced them.

Trust · what it costs

What an Odoo integration costs

We do not publish one integration price, because the same connector costs very differently depending on the factors below. We do publish what moves the number, and the price is fixed in writing before work starts.

  • The other system’s APIOdoo’s side is rarely the constraint. What the other system exposes, and how well, usually sets the scope.
  • One way or twoBidirectional sync needs conflict rules and roughly doubles the testing effort.
  • Data quality you start withCleaning duplicate or missing keys is usually the largest single line item.
  • Volume and frequencyHigh throughput needs batching, queueing and monitoring rather than a simple scheduled job.
  • Error handling depthA replayable queue with alerting is real work, and it is the part worth paying for.
  • Number of systemsEach connected system is its own mapping, its own authentication and its own failure path.
FAQ

Odoo integration: frequently asked questions

What can Odoo be integrated with?
Practically any system with an HTTP API: online stores and marketplaces, payment gateways, messaging platforms, Google and Microsoft productivity suites, other CRMs and ERPs, accounting tools and business intelligence. Odoo exposes its full data model over XML-RPC and JSON-RPC, so the limit is usually what the other system allows.
How long does an Odoo integration take?
A standard connector against a well-documented API with clean data is a matter of weeks. What extends it is almost never the Odoo side — it is data that needs cleaning before records can be matched, or an API on the other side that is slow, limited or poorly documented.
Is an integration real time?
Near real time. Records typically move within seconds to a minute depending on the trigger and the other system’s rate limits. Anything that genuinely needs sub-second consistency needs a different architecture, and we would say so rather than imply otherwise.
What happens when one system is down?
Messages retry with backoff and then land in a queue with their payload and the reason they failed, with an alert when that queue grows. Because every message is idempotent, replaying it updates the record rather than creating a duplicate.
Will an integration survive an Odoo upgrade?
If it is built as a proper module against stable models, yes, with a review as part of the upgrade. Integrations that patch core behaviour are the ones that break, which is why we build them as modules. See Odoo migration.
Do you build custom integrations?
Yes. We use a standard connector wherever one fits and build only what it genuinely cannot reach, with the field mapping, conflict rules and error queue defined before anything is written. See Odoo customization and Odoo API integration.

Which system do you need Odoo talking to?

Tell us what you want connected and whether the data has to travel both ways. Those two answers decide the scope, and the diagnosis call is free.
