How call an API when values change in DataBase?

Question

Hello,
When I update data with an override "write" function, I do a post request for an external application with the id of changed record (cf: the code bellow). Then the app get the values in postgres but the values hasn't change at this time.

@api.multi
def write(self, values):
for record in self:

hmm you are right is not committed yet DB. it's committed when request return result
I think you need to explicitly commit the cursor to stored data forcefully in DB like
​@api.multi
def write(self, values):
for record in self:
res = super(my_class_xxxx, self).write(values)
data = {"id": record.id}
*​        record.env.cr.commit()*
requests.post("https://us-central1-xxxxxxxx.com", data=data)
return res

Hi Theo:
You may want to consider using an Automated Action (*Settings > Technical > Automation*) to invoke the api on the *On Creation* trigger condition of the model.
