Here's how you can set up a cron job in Odoo to periodically run a Python method. This example shows how to mark records as processed on a hourly basis. This approach allows you to run a Python method periodically, typically used for background processing, data cleanup, automated emails, etc. XML code - Define Cron Job Process Example Records code model._process_example_records() 1 hours Python code - Define Method in the Model from odoo import fields, models class ExampleModel(models.Model): _name = 'example.model' _description = 'Example Model' name = fields.Char(string='Name') processed = fields.Boolean(string='Processed', default=False) def _process_example_records(self): """ Mark unprocessed records as processed. """ unprocessed = self.search([('processed', '=', False)]) for record in unprocessed: record.processed = True
