1.1 Workflow description

Title

Workflow name
Sync Shopify products to Odoo in real time for create and update events

What Problem Does It Solve?

  • Keeping product data consistent between Shopify and Odoo is a major operational challenge.
  • Manually creating new products in Odoo every time they are added to Shopify is slow and leads to Barcode errors.
  • Prices and titles change frequently; failing to sync these updates results in pricing discrepancies and customer confusion.
  • This workflow solves these issues by:
  • Automatically creating a new product in Odoo as soon as it's added to Shopify.
  • Ensuring Barcode uniqueness by checking for existing products before creation.
  • Syncing product images directly from Shopify to Odoo.
  • Real-time updating of product names and prices in Odoo whenever they change in Shopify.

How to Configure It

  • Shopify Setup
  • Connect your Shopify account using OAuth2.
  • The workflow uses two triggers: "products/create" and "products/update".
  • Odoo Setup
  • Connect your Odoo API credentials in n8n.
  • Ensure your Shopify "Vendors" match the "Product Categories" names in Odoo for accurate automated mapping.
  • Image Handling
  • The workflow automatically downloads the first image from Shopify and converts it to the format required by Odoo's "image_1920" field.

How It Works

  • Product Creation Path:
  • Shopify triggers the "Product Created" node.
  • The workflow checks Odoo for an existing product with the same Barcode.
  • If not found, it retrieves the Odoo Category ID based on the Shopify Vendor name.
  • It downloads the product image, extracts the file content, and creates the item in Odoo.
  • Product Update Path:
  • Shopify triggers the "Product Updated" node.
  • The workflow finds the corresponding product in Odoo by Barcode.
  • It instantly updates the Odoo record with the new Title and List Price from Shopify.

Customization Ideas

  • Add logic to sync "Inventory Levels" so Shopify and Odoo share the same stock count.
  • Map multiple variants (Sizes/Colors) from Shopify to Odoo Product Variants.
  • Integrate with a notification system to alert you if a Shopify Vendor doesn't have a matching Category in Odoo.
