Odoo CRM
Odoo CRM Integration Overview
Improve your team’s productivity with PortSIP PBX’s native Odoo CRM integration. This integration automatically matches incoming and outgoing calls with Odoo contacts, leads, and accounts, and logs call activities—including call records, call recordings, and AI transcriptions—to the appropriate CRM records.
By eliminating manual data entry and providing agents with real-time customer context, this integration helps teams work more efficiently and deliver a consistently superior customer experience.
Key Capabilities
Caller ID to Contact Name
Inbound calls automatically trigger an Odoo CRM lookup to identify the caller and display the associated contact name.
Contact Lookup from PortSIP ONE
When searching by name in PortSIP ONE for Windows, macOS, or Web Client, the system queries Odoo CRM and matches contacts based on phone numbers.
Automatic Call Journaling
All trunk calls are automatically logged in the Odoo Contact Card as CRM call activities. Agents can also append call notes at any time.
Create New Contacts Automatically
For calls from unknown numbers, agents can create new Odoo contacts or leads directly from the PortSIP PBX client.
Recording and AI Transcription Logging
Call recording links and AI transcription links are automatically attached to the corresponding Odoo CRM activity.
Supported Odoo Editions
The PortSIP PBX Odoo CRM integration is supported for the following Odoo CRM cloud online editions.
Step 1: Configure the Odoo Application
Create an Odoo Database
Sign in to the Odoo website.
Click the Create button.
Choose CRM, then click Continue.
Enter database information. Fill in the required fields as shown in the screenshot below.
Company Name This value is also used as the database name.
Important: The database name will be required in later configuration steps. Record it exactly as entered (including capitalization).
Click Start Now to begin the database creation process.
Activate the Odoo Account
Odoo sends an activation email to the registered email address.
Follow the instructions in the email to complete account activation.
Connect to the Database
After activating your account, open the Odoo dashboard.
Select your database, and click Connect to access the database.
Generate an API Key
In the upper-right corner of the Odoo interface, click your profile image, then select My Preferences.
In the preferences window, open the Security tab, click Add API Key.
In the window, enter a description for the key (for example, PortSIP PBX Integration). Set an expiration date according to your security policy.
Click Generate Key.
Copy the generated API key and store it in a secure location.
⚠️ Warning: The API key is displayed only once at creation time. If you lose it, you must generate a new key—you cannot view it again later.
Step 2: Configure PortSIP PBX
Enable CRM at the Tenant Level
Log in to the PortSIP PBX Web Portal as a System Administrator, then navigate to Tenants, select the target tenant, and click Edit.
Open the Features tab and ensure that the CRM option is enabled.
Important: CRM integration will not function unless this feature is enabled for the tenant by a System Administrator.
Alternatively, you may sign in directly as the Tenant Administrator for the desired tenant.
Configure Odoo CRM Integration
Navigate to Integrations > CRM.
From the Select a CRM solution dropdown, choose Odoo.
Enter the required Odoo connection details. Use the Odoo URL and database name created in the previous step, along with your Odoo account email address and the API key you generated.
