When trying to connect to an odoo database to create a calendar event, Zapier throws an error:

Any suggestions how to get around this issue?

Thanks!

Hey @pingu, welcome to the Community! :) 

I can see that you’ve also reached out to our Support team about this. They identified that the error was caused by a known issue with the Odoo ERP Self Hosted integration and added you to the list of affected users on the related bug report.

I don’t have an ETA on when it will be fixed but we’ll be in touch by email as soon as it’s resolved!
