What Problem Does It Solve?
What Problem Does It Solve? Manually entering hundreds of products from a spreadsheet into Odoo is slow, repetitive, and prone to human error. Ensuring that barcodes are unique and products aren't duplicated during manual entry is a constant challenge. Uploading product images one by one into Odoo's interface is a major bottleneck for inventory management. This workflow solves these issues by: Automatically importing new products from a Google Sheet to Odoo the moment they are added. Performing a real-time duplicate check via Barcode to prevent redundant records. Automatically fetching and attaching product images from URLs directly into the Odoo product template. Updating the status in your spreadsheet to "Done" once the sync is successful. How to Configure It Google Sheets Setup Connect your Google account and select your inventory spreadsheet. Your sheet should have columns for: Name, Barcode, category, Sales Price, Cost, and Image URL (الصوره). Odoo Setup Connect your Odoo API credentials in n8n. Ensure the category names in your sheet exactly match the existing "Product Categories" in Odoo for accurate mapping. Image Processing The "Download Image" node is configured to fetch the image file from the URL provided in your sheet. Ensure these are direct, publicly accessible image links. How It Works The workflow triggers automatically whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheet. It loops over the items and first searches Odoo by Barcode to verify if the product already exists. If it’s a new product, it searches Odoo to find the correct internal Category ID based on the sheet data. It checks if an image URL is available. If so, it downloads the file, converts it to binary, and creates the product in Odoo with the image attached. If no image is provided, it seamlessly creates the product template with basic details (Price, Cost, Barcode, Category). Finally, it updates the status column in the spreadsheet to "Done" and includes a brief "Wait" to stay within Odoo and Google API rate limits. Customization Ideas Add a logic branch to update existing products (e.g., sync new prices) if the Barcode already exists in Odoo instead of just skipping them. Integrate with a Telegram bot to send a confirmation photo and summary of the new product once it’s live in the ERP. Add currency conversion nodes if your sheet prices are in a different currency than your Odoo default. For more info Contact Me. An n8n automation workflow template by khaled yasser.
