# Manage Odoo Products from Shopify Updates **14 min setup** **No coding required** **Runs automatically** Maintain consistency between Shopify and Odoo by syncing product details seamlessly. This MESA workflow template triggers whenever a Shopify product is updated, creating the product and variants in Odoo if they don't exist or updating existing entries with the latest changes. Eliminate the need for manual updates across platforms, saving time and ensuring accurate, up-to-date product information in both systems. ## How it works 14 steps to automate this task automatically. ### Shopify Product Updated - **App connector**: [Shopify](/content/apps/shopify/integrate "View Shopify integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute The workflow begins when a product is updated in Shopify, capturing details about the updated product such as title, variants, price, or inventory changes. ### Retrieve Odoo products - **App connector**: [Odoo](/content/apps/odoo/integrate "View Odoo integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Fetch all products from Odoo's database to ensure alignment of product data with Shopify. ### Skip product creation - **App connector**: [Filter](/content/apps/filter/integrate "View Filter integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Check if the product from Shopify already exists in Odoo. If a match is found, it skips the product creation step to avoid duplicates and ensures data consistency. ### Create Odoo Product Template - **App connector**: [Odoo](/content/apps/odoo/integrate "View Odoo integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Creates a product template in Odoo to serve as a base for managing variants, ensuring the product structure aligns with Shopify's updated product details. ### Retrieve or create Odoo product ID - **App connector**: [Transform](/content/apps/transform/integrate "View Transform integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Determines the Odoo product ID by either retrieving it from an existing product or creating a new product if it doesn't already exist. ### Loop Through Shopify Variants - **App connector**: [Loop](/content/apps/loop/integrate "View Loop integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Iterates through each variant of the Shopify product, ensuring that all variants are individually processed for syncing or updating in Odoo. ### Retrieve product attributes - **App connector**: [Odoo](/content/apps/odoo/integrate "View Odoo integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Fetches product attributes from Odoo to match and align with the attributes of the Shopify variant being processed. ### Search for existing variant by SKU - **App connector**: [Odoo](/content/apps/odoo/integrate "View Odoo integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Looks up an existing product variant in Odoo using the SKU from the Shopify variant to determine if it needs to be updated or created. ### Search for existing product by SKU - **App connector**: [Odoo](/content/apps/odoo/integrate "View Odoo integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Searches Odoo for an existing product using the Shopify variant's SKU to ensure accurate mapping or to prevent duplicate entries. ### Path #1: Product attributes found, no existing variant - **App connector**: [Paths](/content/apps/paths/integrate "View Paths integration page"/index.html) - **Time to complete**: 1 minute Determines if product attributes are available but no existing product variant is found in Odoo.
