Consume Odoo API

Actions21

Overview

This node allows you to delete a Note resource in Odoo via the Odoo API. It is useful for automating the removal of notes from your Odoo system, for example, as part of a workflow that manages or cleans up records. Typical scenarios include deleting obsolete notes, removing notes based on certain criteria, or integrating note deletion into larger business processes.

Practical Example:

  • Automatically delete a note after its content has been processed or archived elsewhere.
  • Remove notes associated with records that are being deleted or anonymized for compliance reasons.

Properties

Name Meaning
Note ID The unique identifier of the note to be deleted. This is required to specify which note will be removed from Odoo.

Output

  • The output will be a JSON object indicating the result of the delete operation. Typically, this may include a success confirmation or an error message if the operation fails.
  • If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message.

Example output (success):

[
  {
    "success": true
  }
]

Example output (failure with Continue On Fail):

[
  {
    "error": "Record not found"
  }
]

Dependencies

  • Odoo API: Requires access to an Odoo instance with valid credentials (URL, username, password, and database name).
  • n8n Credentials: You must configure Odoo API credentials in n8n under the name odooApi.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid Note ID: If the provided Note ID does not exist, the node will return an error such as "Record not found".
  • Authentication Errors: If the Odoo credentials are incorrect or missing, you may see errors like "Credentials are not valid" or "Settings are not valid".
  • Insufficient Permissions: The user account used must have permission to delete notes in Odoo; otherwise, you may receive a permissions error.

How to resolve:

  • Double-check the Note ID for typos or ensure it exists in Odoo.
  • Verify your Odoo credentials in n8n.
  • Ensure the user has the necessary rights in Odoo to perform deletions.
