<h2>What Is Odoo Hermes?</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Odoo Hermes</strong> is the integration between <strong>Odoo ERP</strong> and
|
||
<strong>Hermes AI Agent</strong>. It gives your AI agent direct access to your
|
||
Odoo database — CRM contacts, sales orders, inventory levels, invoices, and more —
|
||
all through natural language prompts.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Instead of clicking through Odoo's module menus to find a customer or generate a
|
||
report, you just ask your agent. "Show me all leads from last week." "What's the
|
||
total value of open quotes?" "Create a new invoice for ACME Corp." Your agent
|
||
handles the API calls and returns the answer.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are <strong>three ways</strong> to set up the connection, each with different
|
||

<h2>Why Use Odoo Hermes?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>One Interface, All Modules</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Odoo has CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting, Manufacturing, and 30+ other modules.
|
||
Each has its own UI, filters, and reports. Odoo Hermes collapses them all into a
|
||
single text interface. Ask once, get answers from any module.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Automate Repetitive Tasks</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Instead of logging into Odoo every morning to check new leads, update stages, and
|
||
generate reports, your agent does it on a schedule. Set up a <strong>cron job</strong>
|
||
that runs "Pull all new leads from last 24 hours, categorize them by industry, and
|
||
save the result to my dashboard" — and it happens automatically at 08:00 every day.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Combine Odoo with Other Tools</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Hermes Agent isn't limited to Odoo. It also browses the web, sends emails, reads
|
||
files, and runs code. Your agent can research a prospect on LinkedIn,
|
||
check their CRM record in Odoo, draft a personalized email, and send it — all in
|
||
one session.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>No Code Required</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You don't need to write Python scripts, build API integrations, or maintain
|
||
middleware. Configure once in <code>config.yaml</code> and your agent is ready.
|
||
The entire setup takes about 10 minutes.
|
||

|
||
|
||
<h2 id="setup">Step-by-Step Setup (XML-RPC Direct)</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is the fastest path — one config block and your agent talks to Odoo directly.
|
||

|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Prerequisites</h3>
|
||
<p>Have these ready before you start:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Your Odoo instance URL (e.g. <code>https://your-instance.odoo4projects.com</code>)</li>
|
||
<li>Odoo username and password (create a dedicated agent user — never use admin)</li>
|
||
<li>Hermes Agent installed and running</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Step 1 — Generate an API Key</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In Odoo, go to <strong>Settings → Users → select your agent user → Technical</strong>.
|
||
Scroll to <strong>Security</strong> and click <strong>Generate API Key</strong>.
|
||
Name it <code>hermes-agent</code> and copy the key immediately — Odoo only shows it once.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Step 2 — Configure Hermes</h3>
|
||
<p>Add this block to your <code>~/.hermes/config.yaml</code>:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>odoo:
|
||
url: "https://your-instance.odoo4projects.com"
|
||
db: "your-database"
|
||
user: "agent@company.com"
|
||
api_key: "your-api-key"
|
||
readonly: true</code></pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Set <code>readonly: true</code> for first setup. Remove it once you're confident
|
||
and need the agent to create or update records.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Step 3 — Give Your Agent the Prompt</h3>
|
||
<p>Start Hermes and paste this prompt:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>Connect to the ODOO 19 database with the credentials $ODOO_URL $ODOO_USER $ODOO_APIKEY</code></pre>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Step 4 — Verify</h3>
|
||
<p>Ask your agent a simple question to confirm the connection works:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>Give me a list of customers with their email addresses.</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If everything is configured correctly, the agent returns live data from your Odoo instance:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>1. Azure Interior — azure.interior@example.com
|
||
2. Deco Addict — deco.addict@example.com
|
||
3. Gem Furniture — gem.furniture@example.com
|
||
4. Lumber Inc — lumber.inc@example.com
|
||
Total: 8 customers in CRM</code></pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>That's it. Three minutes, one config block, and your agent talks to Odoo.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>What to Try Next</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>"Show me all leads in the CRM"</strong> — pulls from <code>crm.lead</code></li>
|
||
<li><strong>"List my recent sales orders"</strong> — queries <code>sale.order</code></li>
|
||
<li><strong>"What products are low on stock?"</strong> — checks <code>stock.quant</code></li>
|
||
<li><strong>"What's the total value of open quotes?"</strong> — sums draft sale orders</li>
|
||
</ul>

<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>What is Odoo Hermes?</h3>
|
||
<p>Odoo Hermes is the integration between Odoo ERP and Hermes AI Agent. It allows your AI agent to read, write, and automate data across Odoo modules — CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting — through natural language prompts instead of clicking through the Odoo UI.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>How do I connect Odoo to Hermes Agent?</h3>
|
||
<p>There are three ways: <strong>XML-RPC direct</strong> — configure Odoo credentials in Hermes config.yaml and the agent calls the API directly. <strong>Odoo MCP CLI</strong> — run mcp-server-odoo and register with Hermes. <strong>n8n pipeline</strong> — delegate Odoo operations to deterministic n8n workflows. The right choice depends on whether you need speed (XML-RPC), standardization (MCP), or determinism (n8n).</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>Is Odoo Hermes free?</h3>
|
||
<p>Hermes Agent is open-source and free. Odoo Community Edition is also free with no per-user fees. You only pay for hosting — derez.ai offers managed agents starting at $9.50/month. Use coupon code <strong>blog950</strong> for your first month free.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>Which integration method is best for production?</h3>
|
||
<p>The <strong>n8n pipeline</strong> is the most production-ready. Every Odoo operation runs through a deterministic workflow — check customer exists, then check product, then create invoice. This prevents the LLM from chaining API calls in unexpected ways. Use XML-RPC for quick queries and demos, n8n for business-critical operations like invoicing and order management.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>Can Odoo Hermes write to my database?</h3>
|
||
<p>Yes, but you control it. Set <code>readonly: true</code> in the config for read-only access. Remove it to allow create/update operations. Always create a dedicated Odoo user for the agent with restricted model access — never use an admin account.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>What Odoo versions does Odoo Hermes support?</h3>
|
||
<p>The XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs work with Odoo 15 through 19, including Odoo Community Edition and Odoo Enterprise. The MCP server supports Odoo 17+. The n8n approach works with any version that exposes a webhook-compatible API.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="faq-item">
|
||
<h3>Can I schedule Odoo Hermes to run automatically?</h3>
|
||
<p>Yes. Hermes Agent has built-in cron job support. You can schedule prompts like "Check for new leads every hour and alert me if there are more than 5" or "Generate a weekly sales report every Monday at 09:00." The agent runs autonomously and sends you the results.</p>
