Integrating with Odoo can vary depending on the external systems involved, the specific version of Odoo, and the level of customization required.
Commonly used protocols for interacting with Odoo are XML-RPC and JSON-RPC.
Maintaining a successful integration over time comes with various challenges. Examples are:
- Scaling for managing volume
- Effectively manage changes
- Build a unique solution that will work without downtime
- Often, some form of intermediate storage is needed to achieve speed.
- Management of logging to see errors and be able to rerun them
- Robust debugging tools
- It must be able to run even if the connected system experiences downtime
- Monitoring
- Support
You can efficiently address these challenges using middleware that handles all communication between the external system and Odoo JSON’s RPC.
