​Integrating Unsplash with Odoo allows you to enrich your product catalog by automatically assigning high-quality images. Here's how you can set this up:​

1. Understanding Odoo's Default Behavior:

Odoo's integration with Unsplash enables users to search and select images directly from the Unsplash library when creating or editing products. This feature is particularly useful for enhancing product listings without the need for manual image uploads.​

2. Setting Up Unsplash Integration in Odoo:

To utilize Unsplash images for your products:

• For Odoo Online Users:
  • The Unsplash integration is pre-configured.​
  • Navigate to Website → Configuration → Settings.​
  • In the Images section, ensure that Unsplash Integration is enabled.​
  • Save your settings.​
• For Odoo.sh or On-Premise Users:
  • Create an Unsplash Account:
    • Visit Unsplash and sign up for an account.
  • Generate an Access Key:
    • After logging in, go to your Unsplash Applications Dashboard.
    • Click New Application, agree to the terms, and provide details like the application name prefixed with "Odoo:" (e.g., "Odoo: Product Images").
    • After creation, note down the Access Key and Application ID.
  • Configure Odoo Settings:
    • In Odoo, navigate to Settings → General Settings.
    • Enable the Unsplash Image Library feature.
    • Enter the Access Key and Application ID obtained from Unsplash.
    • Save your settings.

3. Utilizing Unsplash Images in Product Management:

• Adding Images to Products:
  • When creating or editing a product, click on the Image field.​
  • A search bar will appear; enter keywords related to your product to browse Unsplash images.​
  • Select the desired image to assign it to your product.​

4. Recommendations for Automation and Best Practices:

• Bulk Image Assignment:
  • If you have numerous products, consider using Odoo's automated actions or scheduled activities to assign images based on product names or categories.​
• Alternative Methods:
  • For products lacking internet access or where Unsplash integration isn't feasible, prepare a CSV file with product names and corresponding image URLs.​
  • Use the CSV Image Uploader module to import images in bulk.​
    • This module allows adding product images using image names or URLs, streamlining the process.

5. Recommendations for Automation and Best Practices:

• Regular Updates:
  • Periodically review and update product images to ensure they accurately represent your offerings.​
• Compliance:
  • Ensure that the use of images complies with Unsplash's licensing agreements and your business requirements.​
