Create Record

odoo.create

ActionCRM & salesconnection required

Calls the Odoo API with the connection's credentials.

Create one record from 'values', or several in a single call from 'records'. The new ids are returned in creation order.

Connection

Required: Yes — the node will not save without one
Auth type: API key
Providers: Odoo
Secret shape: the API key, or {"api_key": "…"} — Odoo takes it in place of the password
Config it needs: base_url, db, username, uid
Resolved by: config.connection_id, else node.connection_id

3 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Constraints	Example
model Technical name of the Odoo model to act on, such as 'res.partner' or 'sale.order'.	string	Yes	—	—	res.partner
values Field values to write, as a JSON object keyed by field name.	object	No	—	—	{"name":"Acme Ltd"}
records Several records to create at once, as a JSON array of objects — an alternative to 'values'.	array	No	—	array of object	[{"name":"Acme Ltd"}]

Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

{
  "model": "res.partner",
  "records": [
    {
      "name": "Acme Ltd"
    }
  ],
  "values": {
    "name": "Acme Ltd"
  }
}

One shape.

Field	Type	Example
id Id of the first record created.	number	—
ids Ids of every record created, in the order sent.	array	—
created How many records were created.	number	—
model The model the call was made against.	string	—

{
  "created": 0,
  "id": 0,
  "ids": [],
  "model": ""
}

Odoo applies the model's own defaults and validations, so a create can fail on a required field this node never mentioned — run 'Odoo: Describe Fields' to see which fields the model requires.
A many2one field comes back as a [id, display name] pair and is written as a bare id; one2many and many2many fields are written with Odoo's command triplets, e.g. [[6, 0, [1, 2]]] to replace the whole set.

In a technical demo we add the Odoo connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
