Connect WordPress Forms with Odoo

FormsCRM Odoo Addon is the professional way to connect your WordPress forms to Odoo ERP. This premium plugin closes the gap between your website and your business management system: data from any web form goes straight into Odoo, with no manual work.

Who is it for?

This plugin is built for companies that run Odoo as their main ERP and need it for:

• Marketing and sales agencies capturing leads from web forms
• HR departments managing candidates and hiring processes
• Support teams receiving tickets from their website
• B2B companies that need to sync contacts and sales opportunities
• Organizations using Odoo for events and calendar management

What problem does it solve?

Copying form submissions into Odoo by hand is slow, error-prone and eats up your team’s time. FormsCRM Odoo Addon takes that job off the table:

2. Fewer human errors – No manual retyping, no forgotten entries, no duplicates
3. Time saved – Your team stops spending hours on repetitive data entry
4. Clean data – Formats are validated and converted automatically
5. Everything in one place – All your customer information lives in a single system

🚀 Advanced Features

Expert Mode: Turn on expert mode to access every field and custom module in your Odoo installation, with no restrictions.
