Hi @jaikishan  after several attempts, snnifing the network request, and making some tests using postman, I found that you have to enable a config in odoo in order to allow the databases to be listed using the list method of the /xmlrpc/db service that zapier uses to attempt the conection to the odoo instance

 

This can be achieved changing the list_db parameter to True in the odoo.conf on the server folder of your intallation, and restart the odoo instance.

Apparently you can change back that config to False after the initial setup (I just did that a few minutes ago, still testing the connection)

Hope this helps you.

Edit:

I am entering the following url to connect with odoo: -
https://rosasuper73-super73-v13-sandbox-631095.dev.odoo.com
 

and after entering the username and password, I get the authentication failed error as mentioned in the image. Can somebody help me with the resolution to this issue?

Hi @jaikishan Could I check whether you’re using Odoo ERP Self hosted or Odoo CRM? Thanks!
