Here's how you can set up Automated Actions in Odoo to automatically run a Python method when a record is created. This involves defining both a server action and an automated action in XML, along with the corresponding Python method in your model. Automated Actions allow you to run server actions (Python methods) when a record is created, updated, or meets specific conditions — without needing custom code in the model itself.

XML code - Define Server Action + Automation Process

            Process Example Record

            code

            records.auto_process()

            Auto Process on Creation

            on_create

            code

Define Method in the Model
from odoo import api, fields, models

class ExampleModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'example.model'
    _description = 'Example Model'

    name = fields.Char(string='Name')
    status = fields.Selection([ ('new', 'New'), ('processed', 'Processed') ], default='new')

    def auto_process(self):
         """ This method is called by the automated action on record creation. """
         for record in self:
             record.status = 'processed'
