Mapsly is a standalone software platform that exchanges data with your Odoo account through its API.

This guide describes steps for your Odoo On-Premise, please refer to this guide if you have an Odoo Online account.

For Odoo On-Premise v16 and lower, Mapsly offers an Odoo extension that implements real-time sync of records removed in Odoo — to ensure they are immediately removed in Mapsly as well.

Signing up for a Mapsly account and connecting your Odoo

1. Follow Mapsly sign-up guide

Create a Mapsly account and connect it to your Odoo CRM by following this Mapsly sign-up wizard.
​
Please note that on step #4 "Access to data" you'll be prompted to enter your Odoo administrator's login and password, your full Odoo server URL (Odoo web application URL) including "https://" (i.e. https://mycompany.odoo.com), as well as your Odoo database name:

3. Install and configure the Mapsly extension for Odoo

If you use Odoo On-Premise v16 or earlier, install the Mapsly extension to enable real-time sync of removed records between Odoo and Mapsly.

When using Odoo On-Premise v17 or Odoo Online, you don’t need to install the Mapsly extension, since the sync of removed records is performed during the regular sync, along with the sync of new and updated records.

To install the Mapsly extension in your Odoo instance simply follow the steps:

  1. Download the Mapsly extension and connector and add them to your /addons folder:
    ​Mapsly Extension:
    ​https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/mapsly_connector/
    ​Connector:
    ​https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/connector/

  2. Go to Apps, search and install the Mapsly extension

  3. After installing the extension you will need to create mapsly.api_key. To generate it, inside Mapsly go to Setup > Odoo > General properties and then click the 'Generate' button:

    ​

  4. In your Odoo settings activate the developer mode
    ​

    ​

  5. Go to Settings > Technical > System parameters:

  6. Create mapsly.api_key parameter and save the previously generated API key here:

    ​

  7. Make sure web.base.url parameter exactly matches the "Odoo server URL" you set while creating a Mapsly data source.
    ​

    Correct it, if needed.
    ​

  8. Create web.base.url.freeze parameter with value True
    ​

  9. Configuration is complete and you can now open Mapsly inside your Odoo instance:
