I want to get data from firebase to push into the oppotunity of crm erpnext.
Can I use virtual doctype to connect and temporarily store customer data and then bring it into oppotunity?
Or does anyone have any ideas? Thank you
Hi @meeeeeeeee:
It’s doable. Check how this was made:
And this:
Consider some additional work for reports, etc …
It’s an amazing feature.
Hope this helps.
@avc
Should I create a virtual document and put it into oppotunity or create a custom python script file to connect to firebase and then directly put the data into oppotunity?
Hi @meeeeeeeee:
I guess you have a customer/lead database on Firebase and you want to use it for your opportunities. Right?
With virtual doctype approach you can create a new doctype (i.e. “External lead”) which reads data from your firebase. You can customize opportunity and link it to your new virtual doctype.
Other way would be creating a scheduled job (script) that regularely brings and syncronize data from your external database to lead/customer doctype.
Both ways are valid and have pro and cons.
Virtual doctype
Pros:
Fully updated data, no sync delays.
Cons:
Some framework features won’t work directly (fetching, etc…)
Sync script
Pros:
External data will be usable along all the framework features without further “pains”.
Cons:
Data may be not fully updated.
Hope this helps.
