Connect Odoo to Lutril
Lutril connects to Odoo through the External JSON-2 API with a bearer API key: it lists internal and portal users, creates accounts for approved access requests (Odoo emails the invitation itself), and archives accounts on offboarding.
Access requested
- res.users: search_read (list users and their status)
- res.users: create (provision users on approved requests)
- res.users: write (archive users on offboarding, never deleted)
Setup steps
- 1
Sign in to Odoo as a user with Settings (administration) access. A dedicated service account is recommended so the key survives employee offboarding.
- 2
Open your avatar menu, then Preferences, then the Account Security tab, and click New API Key.
- 3
Enter a description (for example Lutril) and a duration, confirm your password, then copy the key: Odoo shows it only once.
- 4
In Lutril, open the Odoo integration and paste your base URL (for example https://mycompany.odoo.com), the database name if your server hosts several, and the API key.
- 5
Note: the external API requires an Odoo Custom pricing plan and the JSON-2 endpoint requires Odoo 19 or newer.
