How to connect Discourse and Odoo
Create a New Scenario to Connect Discourse and Odoo
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Discourse, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Discourse or Odoo will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Discourse or Odoo, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Discourse Node
Select the Discourse node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the Discourse
Click on the Discourse node to configure it. You can modify the Discourse URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Odoo Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Discourse node, select Odoo from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Odoo.

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Discourse, Odoo, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Discourse and Odoo integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and Odoo (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Discourse and Odoo
Discourse + Slack: When a new post is created on Discourse, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to celebrate positive feedback. Due to available actions, only posting to a channel is possible. There is no action for positive feedback analysis.
Odoo + Discourse + Google Sheets: When a new CRM Lead is created in Odoo, announce it on Discourse and log the CRM Lead information in Google Sheets for tracking and analysis.
