OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration v.15
The tool to automatically synchronize Odoo attachments with OneDrive files in both ways
This is the tool to integrate OneDrive / SharePoint features with Odoo folders and files. The app automatically stores Odoo attachments and directories in SharePoint/OneDrive and provides instant access to them via web links.
Automatic folders' structure
Decide which Odoo document types should have their own folders trees and synchronize those to OneDrive/SharePoint
Automatic regular sync
Rely on auto-synchronization between Odoo and OneDrive / SharePoint based on scheduled jobs. No manual interaction is required
Bilateral sync
Odoo sends attachments to OneDrive / SharePoint and retrieves files from there. Binary content is kept in clouds, while Odoo provides direct access to synced items
Cloud synchronization history
Control OneDrive / SharePoint sync logs right in Odoo. Export and share those in case of any issues. Be notified of any client disconnections
File manager interface
Manage synced folders and attachments from a single Odoo view. Comfortably navigate by directories. Search and download files one by one or in batch. Upload and move attachments to folders
Attachment box
Organize files of any Odoo object in a set of subfolders. Instantly access folders and files in the attachment box and in OneDrive / SharePoint.
Great support, assistance and very good connector!
We are very happy with the support we received when configuring the Sharepoint - Odoo connector. The connector has great functionalities.
All our questions were answered very fast (within one day).
FaOtools helped us optimising our connector and assisted us with future improvements.
We really recommend this connector.
very professional app, excellen t customer service
This app is very well programmed and does its job very well. But the best is the excellent customer service who also helps when the problem lies somewhere else. You receive a lot for your money.
An impressive app and world-class support
I have been very impressed by the way the OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration module synchronises content in both directions and allows me to share documents in Odoo with my SharePoint site. Above all the technical support is top-notch, which greatly increases the value of this product. I highly recommend this product for anyone considering synchronising Odoo with SharePoint/OneDrive.
Works fine, good support
The first experience with the module is excellent. I had some trouble to configure things right on the Microsoft-side, but the team provided quick and good support.
How synchronization works
Automatic two-sided sync
-
Configure sync for one or multiple OneDrive / SharePoint instances
-
Integration is based on scheduled jobs and is fully automatized. The app regularly checks changes in systems and runs sync operations
-
Synchronization is bilateral. Updates in Odoo are reflected in OneDrive / SharePoint (direct sync); changes in OneDrive / SharePoint modify Odoo folders and attachments (backward sync)
-
Cloud connection with OneDrive / SharePoint might be reset. In this way, the app assumes getting back all items back to Odoo (reverse sync)
-
Odoo folders and attachments might be re-attached to a new cloud client from OneDrive / SharePoint. Hence, items would be first taken back to Odoo (reverse sync) and then put to new cloud storage (direct sync)
Queue-based synchronization
-
Once in 15 minutes, the app examines updates in Odoo and OneDrive / SharePoint to prepare a synchronization queue
-
Folders' checks follow the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle. So, directories that have not been examined for the longest will be processed first
-
Once in 15 minutes, the sync queue is run by the special scheduled job. Firstly, the most important (blocking) tasks would be done
-
Control planned jobs and their fulfillment in the special Odoo logs interface (Cloud Storage > Configuration > Sync Logs). Subscribe for particular cloud clients notifications
-
If the app faces sync failures, it will re-try operations afterward. Sync queue processing would not be stopped if there are items not blocked by such failures
Odoo attachments for OneDrive / SharePoint: direct sync
-
Direct sync prepares the folders' hierarchy and uploads Odoo attachments for OneDrive / SharePoint
-
Direct sync checks whether attachments are added or deleted for synced directories. If so, they would be created or removed in OneDrive / SharePoint. In particular, it means that any file added to a folder-related Odoo object (e.g. Quotation), would be automatically moved to a linked cloud client
-
Direct sync makes all synced Odoo attachments change their type to a link (URL), while binary content is removed with one of the next Odoo cleaners. So, no actual files would be stored on your Odoo server
-
Direct sync checks whether a new folder is added. Disregarding whether it is done manually or automatically, the app would generate a peer directory in OneDrive / SharePoint
-
Direct sync checks whether there are any updates in folders. If so, such changes are reflected in OneDrive / SharePoint
OneDrive / SharePoint files and folders for Odoo: backward sync
-
Backward sync checks whether any files or subfolders are added to OneDrive / SharePoint folders. If so, the app would create URL attachments/subdirectories inside linked Odoo directories (and hence Odoo objects if any)
-
Backward sync checks whether there are any updates in folders or attachments. Such updates would be then reflected in Odoo
-
Backward sync checks whether any files are deleted/moved in a OneDrive / SharePoint document folder. If so, a linked Odoo attachment would be also unlinked or moved
-
If you deleted a OneDrive / SharePoint folder related to a folder rule / Odoo object, their child files would be deleted as well. Thus, Odoo would remove related attachments. The folders, however, will be recovered with a direct sync
-
In case of conflicts, direct sync changes are in general considered more important than backward updates.
Resetting or changing OneDrive / SharePoint: reverse sync
-
In case you decided to reset the connection with OneDrive / SharePoint, files would be moved back to Odoo
-
In case you decided to change the cloud client of a folder rule or a folder, files would be first taken back to Odoo, and then direct sync for a new client would be done
-
Reverse sync operations are prioritized to direct and backward sync operations
-
Not all items can be correctly reversed to Odoo due to cloud client peculiarities. For example, there are documents that may exist only in cloud storage environments. The app would try to convert such documents, but in some cases, it would require manual interactions.
Configuration and Installation Tips for OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration Odoo v.15
Python dependency
The tool depends on the external library 'microsoftgraph'. Install this library for your Odoo server through the command:
pip3 install microsoftgraph-pythonConfiguration and log in
- Turn on the option 'OneDrive / SharePoint Sync' (cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration). The optional add-on OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration is required
- Make sure your Microsoft user has full admin rights for OneDrive / SharePoint you want to connect to Odoo. This user is required only to grant permissions, the user data would not be kept in Odoo, and would not be used afterward. Besides, make sure a Microsoft email address you use does not have a redirection (usually happens when you configure your domain name, while the prime address is still one of Microsoft domains like @outlook.com, @office365, etc.)
- Go to your Azure Portal: https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade
- Click 'New registration'
- Introduce a new name for the application and assign the redirect URI as [YOURODOOSITENAME]/one_drive_token (e.g. https://odootools.com/one_drive_token). As the supported account types choose 'Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)'.
- Go to Certificates & secrets - Click 'New Client Secret'. Save somewhere the secret value
- Go to Odoo Cloud Storage > Configuration > Cloud Clients press 'Create'
- As a reference introduce any name which would be clear to all users
- As a Cloud client choose 'OneDrive' or 'SharePoint' depending on the software you are using
- As a Root folder name enter a title which would be users as the parent OneDrive directory for all synced folders. For example, 'Odoo' or 'OdooERP'
- Copy 'Application Client ID' to the 'App client ID'
- Copy secret value into the field 'App client secret'
- Insert previously generated redirect URL
- If you use SharePoint:
- Go to your SharePoint site and prepare a new documents library (drive). You might use one of the existing ones, e.g. 'Documents'. Odoo folder would be put there afterward, and it would be impossible to move it to another library
- The SharePoint URL should be of the type https://[URL]/. The last '/' is required - the site name should not be included. For example, https://odootools.sharepoint.com/
- SharePoint site should be either my_site_name (in that case it is considered as sites/my_site_name) or sites/my_site_name (instead of 'sites' it might be 'teams' and so on). There should be no '/' at the beginning or at the end. For example, sites/odootools
- As Documents Library use one created in SharePoint
- Press 'Confirm'. Odoo redirects you to the Microsoft login page. Check in the system, agree with all conditions, and grant all permissions asked
- After login, OneDrive redirects you back to Odoo. OneDrive - Odoo synchronization is ready to be done
- Apply the newly created cloud client to folder rules and/or manual folders which should be synced to that OneDrive or SharePoint instance
- Await the sync scheduled job to be started. For testing purposes only: trigger integration manually from Cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration > the button 'Launch sync'.
