automated actions through xml files

I managed to make the system send a message as a notification when some expiration date is close

BUT

I created a server action and an automatic action both in the GUI

I'd like to use xml files to create such actions

Otherwise I have to remember to create them every time I create a new db

I found something but for Odoo 15, I'm on Odoo 14

Solution

  • The creation of server actions and automated actions from XML are same in Odoo 14.0 or 15.0 and you can check the Odoo 14.0 Documentation

    Example for server action:

    <record id="act_hr_employee_holiday_request" model="ir.actions.server">
    <field name="name">Time off Analysis</field>
    <field name="model_id" ref="hr_holidays.model_hr_leave_report"/>
    <field name="binding_model_id" ref="hr.model_hr_employee"/>
    <field name="state">code</field>
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(4, ref('base.group_user'))]"/>
    <field name="code">
    action = model.action_time_off_analysis()
    </field>
</record>

    Examples for automated action.
