Most teams that run Odoo end up with two disconnected worlds: a flexible external form builder that marketing and operations rely on for complex, multi-step, conditional forms, and Odoo's res.partner contact/partner model where every downstream process — quotations, invoices, projects, helpdesk — actually needs that data to live. Odoo's own Website Forms builder can push a handful of fields to a model, but it runs out of road quickly: no rich conditional logic, no repeatable sub-forms, no clean mapping of a nested submission payload onto related records, and no dedupe or validation before a partner is created. The result is manual re-keying, duplicate contacts, and submissions that sit in an inbox instead of your database.

This build-to-order integration closes that gap. We build a dedicated bridge module — with its own __manifest__.py, models, and ir.model.access.csv security — that receives submissions from your external form builder either via its outbound webhook or by polling its JSON API, then maps each payload onto Odoo through a configurable field-mapping engine. A mapping table defined as a models.Model and edited entirely from the Odoo UI lets you bind any form field to any res.partner field, including relational fields such as country_id, state_id, category_id tags, and child contacts, with @api.depends compute helpers for derived values (full-name assembly, phone normalization, email lowercasing). Inbound requests hit an authenticated http.Controller route (token or HMAC-signed), and every raw submission is persisted in a staging model so nothing is ever lost, even if mapping fails.

Technically, the flow is deterministic and auditable. On receipt we run a configurable dedupe pass (email, VAT/vat, or phone match against existing res.partner records) so submissions update the right contact instead of spawning duplicates; unmatched records create a new partner in a search + create/write transaction that is fully rolled back on validation error. Field-level validators (email format, required fields, allowed-value lists) run before any write, and failures are quarantined with a human-readable reason rather than silently dropped. Optional automated actions can then fire — assign a salesperson, tag the contact, subscribe followers, or create a linked crm.lead — and a QWeb report or list view gives you a submission audit log. Everything is exposed over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API too, and the module respects record rules so multi-company and access-scoped deployments behave correctly. It is built and tested against Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0 on both Community and Enterprise (Enterprise-only touchpoints, such as Studio-created fields, are handled gracefully where present).

Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships until we have agreed scope. After a short scoping call we confirm your exact form fields, the target Odoo version and edition, your dedupe rules, and any downstream automation, then produce a fixed quotation. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope: we build on a branch, deliver to a staging database for your UAT, and only then install on production with a rollback plan. You receive the full source. Pricing starts from $299 (indicative, single-company base scope); the number of forms and field mappings, multi-company record-rule complexity, historical submission data migration, and any bespoke downstream automation increase the quoted scope.
