Complete beginner setup: add the addon to addons path, restart, update Apps list, install, confirm menu, and give user access.
Pick a format, select the target screen, and load your data correctly.
Use Auto Map, then fine-tune so data lands in the right place.
Set rules like “Status = Active” so only matching rows are imported.
Decide whether to create new records, update existing ones, or both.
Imports can run in the background. Learn how to control them safely.
Run imports daily/weekly/monthly—or once—without manual work.
Use the built-in Help Guide and start with sample files included in the module.
You choose the Target Model (Contacts, Products, Orders, or any custom screen).
Import from CSV, XML, Excel, or JSON—whichever your business already uses.
Bring data from a file on your computer, a public link, or an external system’s API.
Auto Map matches common names, then you can fine-tune where each column goes.
Check the first 5 rows to confirm values land in the right Odoo fields.
Create new records, update existing ones, or do both with a Unique Field.
Import only the rows you want—like “Status = Active” or “Email is not empty”.
Row-by-row messages help you fix issues quickly and download an error report.
Control long imports safely while tracking progress.
Run imports automatically (once, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom).
