Why teams connect Namely and Odoo

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Odoo and Namely share in real time, so the people Namely manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Namely is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Odoo runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs CRM Leads (crm.lead), Purchase Orders (purchase.order), Inventory Transfers (stock.picking), Employees (hr.employee) in Odoo with Reports, Profile Fields, Events, Profiles in Namely field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Odoo keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Odoo contacts and CRM leads with an external CRM when sales runs outside Odoo but invoicing stays in it.
  • 02 Push e-commerce orders into Odoo as sales orders and sync fulfillment status back.
  • 03 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.
  • 04 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Odoo roll up to the same structure Namely maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Namely keep expense and purchase approval chains in Odoo pointed at the right people.

Where Namely runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Namely posts into Odoo as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

What you can sync between Namely and Odoo

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Namely objects Odoo objects How this pairing syncs
Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) Work items synced with external project tools. Reports is specific to Namely and Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Contacts (res.partner) The unified person/company record used across sales, invoicing, and purchasing; the anchor for CRM syncs. Profile Fields is specific to Namely and Contacts (res.partner) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Sales Orders (sale.order) Quotations and confirmed orders synced with e-commerce and external CRMs. Events is specific to Namely and Sales Orders (sale.order) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Invoices (account.move) Customer invoices and journal entries synced with accounting and reporting tools. Profiles is specific to Namely and Invoices (account.move) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Products (product.template / product.product) Catalog and variant data distributed to storefronts and quoting tools. Job Titles is specific to Namely and Products (product.template / product.product) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. CRM Leads (crm.lead) Leads and opportunities synced with marketing and enrichment systems. Job Tiers is specific to Namely and CRM Leads (crm.lead) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Namely and Odoo

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Namely Odoo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Odoo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Odoo Namely Sub-second propagation

DetectionOdoo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on the write_date timestamp every record carries.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Namely through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
  • Odoo: Self-hosted instances have no fixed rate limits; Odoo Online is subject to the platform's fair-use limits.
