python leads duplicates odoo16

I found an older post related to Odoo 13: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/prevent-leads-duplicate-172132

This is similar to what I'm looking to do (but on a custom field) but in Odoo 16. The python script referenced in the answer isn't working for me in my DEV environment using the example given. I'm curious if it needs to be updated for Odoo 16.

Here's the script I'm testing in 16:

leads = model.search([('email_from', '=', record.email_from)])

if leads:

raise Warning("Email Already Exists")

And here's the error I get:

odoo.exceptions.Warning: Email Already Exists

The above server error caused the following client error:
null

Ugh, looks scarier than I'd want to present to my users. Anyway to present a smaller, more clear message so the user knows "oh, it's already exists"?

Probably, this app - https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/crm_duplicates - might be helpful. It lets both warn of duplicates or restrict duplciates' creation based on flexible field rules.

Best Answer

You need to change the Python code

To use the updated command for raising a user error in v14 onwards
To ignore the current record (not needed if only triggered on creation)

for record in records:
    if record.email_from:
        leads = env['crm.lead'].search([('id','!=',record.id),('email_from', '=', record.email_from)])
        if leads:
            raise UserError("Duplicate email address")

works perfectly in Odoo 16. Thanks so much.

Hi,

Refer the app:

https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/crm_duplicates_real_time_search

This Module helps to prevent and alert when creating duplicated datas in the leads module.

Hope it helps

Does this work for custom fields in CRM too?

Christoph Farnleitner

The three lines of code you've posted do exactly what is in your "error".

 raise Warning("Email Already Exists")

opens a pop-up showing a traceback and the message "Email Already Exists". The fact that you raise it prevents any further action.

~ About the looks:

from odoo.exceptions import UserError  # you should do this above the initial class() definition
raise UserError('Email Already Exists')

I did a test and when the automated action is active, no new leads can be created at all. The error message pops up with or without the email populated. So not sure if the script is doing what's intended, which is checking for dupes in the email field.
