Integrations and data

Imports, external IDs, the API, migrations that don't lose data.

Odoo rarely stands alone, and the data you bring into it decides how well it works from day one. This category covers both sides: getting your data in cleanly, and connecting Odoo to the other systems you use.

On the data side, the guides explain the external ID errors you hit during imports and how to plan a migration that keeps your history instead of starting from a blank slate. On the integration side, there is a practical comparison of the API, ready-made connectors and iPaaS, so you can choose how to link Odoo to your webshop, warehouse or other tools. A further post looks at documents and e-signatures, for teams that are tired of chasing paperwork. The category helps anyone preparing a move to Odoo, and teams who already run it but still copy data between systems by hand. Read these before an import or a new integration, not after.
