1.1 Workflow description

Title
Migrate customer data from Odoo v15 to v18
Workflow name
Migrate customer data from Odoo v15 to v18

📄 Description: This workflow helps you migrate customer records directly from Odoo v15 to Odoo v18 without the need for manual exports or intermediate files.

🔹 It connects to your v15 instance, retrieves customer (res.partner) records, and pushes them directly into your v18 database. 🔹 The workflow uses pagination (SplitInBatches) for efficient handling of large datasets. 🔹 Ideal for teams upgrading their Odoo infrastructure and looking to automate data replication between environments.

⚡️ Note: Country and state ID mapping is excluded in this version for faster migration. If needed, logic can be added to map based on name lookup.

🛠 Setup Instructions: Configure Odoo API credentials for both v15 and v18. (https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/odoo/) Adjust domain filters in the “Get Customers” node if needed. Run the workflow to begin real-time customer syncing.

📌 Compatibility: Works with Odoo Community & Enterprise Tested on n8n v1.17+ Requires access to Odoo’s JSON-RPC API
