It bridges the gap between your Odoo instance and your daily operations, making it easy to update records, find contacts, and monitor progress in real time. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_iciZJ4O5rempOvgXyFeMDKP3bOrhrOivlhrjjbhS/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** task-tracking, timesheets, resource-allocation, project-planning, milestone-tracking, collaboration ## Description Managing a business usually means jumping between dozens of tabs to keep everything moving. You're constantly switching from your CRM to your project board, then over to your timesheets to see who's actually working on what. It's a fragmented way to work that eats up your focus. This connector changes that by bringing your Odoo data directly into your AI's workspace. Instead of hunting for a specific project ID or clicking through nested menus to find a sale, you just ask your agent to do it for you. You can spin up new projects, assign tasks to your team, and pull up contact details in seconds. Whether you're a sales lead trying to track a pipeline or an operations manager checking on deadlines, this tool lets you stay in one place. It's part of the Vinkius catalog, which makes it easy to plug into your existing workflow and get your data moving without the usual friction of manual data entry. You get a cleaner way to handle your business data while keeping your hands on the work that actually matters. ## Tools ### odoo_create_task Add a new task to a project with an assigned user and a specific deadline. ### odoo_list_tasks See all tasks across projects with their current stage, priority, and progress percentage. ### odoo_list_timesheets Pull a list of logged hours showing which employee worked on which task and for how long. ### odoo_log_timesheet Record hours worked on a specific project task with a description of the work performed. ### odoo_create_project Create a new project record in Odoo and optionally link it to a specific customer or partner. ### odoo_list_projects View a list of all active projects including the manager, customer, and task count. ### odoo_update_task Change the name, priority, deadline, or other details of an existing project task. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Who is working on the website redesign right now? ``` **Response:** ``` ### 🏗️ **Project: Website Redesign** | Employee | Task | Hours | Status | |---|---|---|---| | Sarah J. | Homepage Mockups | 4.5 hrs | In Progress | | Mike D. | SEO Audit | 2.0 hrs | Done | *Total hours logged today: 6.5 hours.* ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a new project for the Acme Corp rebranding. ``` **Response:** ``` ✅ **Project Created Successfully** * **Project Name:** Acme Corp Rebranding * **Linked Partner:** Acme Corp * **Status:** Draft I've set this up in Odoo.
