In version 17 of Odoo with studio, you can now use webhook.

Definition

 A webhook is a kind of integration. With that you can launch actions in your database based on an url being triggered.

This means you can integrate 2 Odoo Databases together without the need of a developer. 

How to use it 

In Database A

• Go on a Sale Order
• Open studio => Create an Automation 
• • Select the trigger you want (here on save)
  • Create an action => Select "Send Webhook Notification"

• When creating the action you have this popping up

• • The "URL" is a field that we will only be able to fill in once we have configured Database B
  • The "Fields" allow you to select fields from the sale order and send the information that are in those fields
  • The "Sample Payload" is the code that will be send to the Database B
  • • This code will be automatically filled in with the name, model and the id of the record where the action is triggered on
    • Any new field added on the "Fields" will add a new line

• Save for now the action, we will come back to it after

In Database B

• Go on a Sale Order
• Open studio => click on "Webhook"

• The automation is by default like this

• • The "URL" is what allows you to make the link with the Database A => Copy it and paste it in the field "URL" we had on the automated action in Database A
  • Select "Log Calls" as it will allow you to check what is happening in your Database and if the webhook link has worked or not and what went wrong if didn't work
  • "Target Record​" is a piece of code that allow you to define which record should be updated by this action.
  • • By default it is filtering which record is targeted by the info received from the payload you received from the Database A

1. We start with model as we just want to say that this action is triggered on the model of the record
2. Browse allow us to search in what following which is (payload.get('_id')), so you are going to look into the code received from Database A
3. get('_id')) is going to select the value of the field "id"

​

• You can use any normal server action you want when the Webhook is triggered but you can also use python 
• • By using normal actions like change the value in the field salesperson the information coming from the payload is not going to matter besides the ID
  • • The ID of the record updated in Database B is the same ID as the one you triggered the action on in Database A
    • • Example: If my Sale Order in Database A has the ID "1" then the Sale Order with the ID "1" in Database B will be updated
  • By using python, you can use the data that are sent in the payload to do specific things
