SugarCRM Connector

Intro

SugarCRM produces the web application Sugar, a customer relationship management system that is available in both open-source and commercial open-source applications. You can use Domo's SugarCRM connector to retrieve data about employees, notifications, records by module, and more. To learn more about the SugarCRM API, visit their website. ( http://support.sugarcrm.com/Document...ces/index.html ).

The SugarCRM connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window.

You connect to your SugarCRM account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SugarCRM connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your company SugarCRM instance and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

The host URL for your company's SugarCRM instance
Your SugarCRM username and password
Your SugarCRM client ID (which you can find in the SugarCRM Admin page under OAuth Keys; sugar is the default client ID for API access)

Connecting to Your SugarCRM Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the SugarCRM Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your SugarCRM account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field/Menu	Description
Username	Enter your SugarCRM username.
Password	Enter your SugarCRM password.
Host	Enter the host URL for your company's SugarCRM instance. For example: https://domo.sugarondemand.com
Client ID	Enter your SugarCRM client ID (sugar is the default client ID for API access).

Once you have entered valid SugarCRM credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new SugarCRM DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Report menu, along with various other menus that may or may not appear depending on your selected report.
