Visual Workflow Builder
No-code automation for Odoo 19 Community Edition â design, publish, and run workflows visually.
Automate repetitive business processes without writing code. Build professional workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas with triggers, conditions, actions, approvals, and full execution tracing â natively inside Odoo.
Why Visual Workflow Builder?
Odoo CE has automation rules â but no visual workflow designer. This app fills that gap with an enterprise-grade, standalone engine built for business users and consultants alike.
Visual Canvas
Drag nodes, connect branches, and configure each step in a property panel â no Python required.
Event-Driven
React to record creation, updates, field changes, schedules, webhooks, and manual triggers.
Full Traceability
Every workflow run is logged step-by-step â see exactly what happened and where it stopped.
The Visual Builder
A full-screen, professional workflow designer integrated into Odoo's backend.
- Node palette with categorized triggers, logic, actions & control steps
- Pan & zoom canvas with snap-to-grid background
- Drag-and-drop node positioning and connector handles
- Built-in domain filter editor (same UI as Odoo automation rules)
- Validate, Save, and Publish workflow from the toolbar
- Autosave every 15 seconds â never lose your design
- Validation badges on invalid nodes before publish
- True / False branch handles on condition nodes
- Loop body & done handles for iteration flows
- Draft / Published / Archived lifecycle with version tracking
- Built-in User Guide accessible from the Workflows app
- Chatter on workflow definitions for team collaboration

Wait & Human Tasks

Loop
Iterate over related records (order lines, tasks, etc.) with a safety limit.
Execution Trace
Debug every run: enter, exit, branch, wait, error â with timestamps.
