DataInlet for Odoo
Documentation is currently available in English only.
On this page
These docs cover Odoo 18 and 19, with Odoo 19 as the interface reference.
DataInlet adds AI-assisted imports to the Odoo view where you already work. It can create records from a list or kanban view, or update the record open in a form. The connection to DataInlet is shared by the Odoo database, while every import still runs with an explicit Odoo user and remains subject to Odoo access rights and record rules.
Documentation by role
- User docs: choose the correct import entry point, start an import, follow its progress, and review its results.
- Admin docs: connect the Odoo database, understand the standard Odoo-initiated workflow, and maintain the integration.
Optional: use the Inbound connectivity docs only when imports will be started in DataInlet and DataInlet must connect back to Odoo.
Addons
Get DataInlet AI Import
(datainlet_import) from Odoo Apps to start imports from Odoo. It requires
DataInlet Foundation
(datainlet), which provides the shared DataInlet connection.
DataInlet Inbound API
(datainlet_odoo_server) is optional. Install it only when DataInlet must start
an import and connect back to Odoo.
On Odoo Apps, select the 18.0 or 19.0 version that matches your Odoo server. Install all required addons for the same version.
The Odoo connector is free. Imports through the managed DataInlet service require a DataInlet account and available credits.
