How to connect SugarCRM to Binom: CRM search, leads, requests, meetings, calls and tasks. Available on request.
The SugarCRM integration with Binom passes clients from conversations into your CRM: the AI employee searches for a record, creates a lead, opens a case, schedules a meeting, and records the call. SugarCRM is available on request in the Binom cabinet: Integrations → More integrations → SugarCRM.
What Binom can do in SugarCRM
Binom here refers to your AI employee. After you connect SugarCRM, it calls the service's actions when a conversation needs that data. You decide which actions are available to it. In the cabinet, each action is labeled: read (Binom only views data), write, or delete (Binom changes or deletes data in SugarCRM).
| Section | What Binom can view | What Binom can change |
|---|---|---|
| Leads and contacts | Leads, contacts, companies, global search | Create, edit, delete |
| Deals | Deals | Create and edit |
| Cases | Cases | Create and edit |
| Meetings and calls | Meetings, calls, tasks | Create and edit |
| Notes | Notes | Create and edit |
Can the chatbot create a lead in SugarCRM?
Yes. Binom searches for a person across the entire CRM ("Search Records") and creates a lead ("Create Lead") if one does not exist.
Case and meeting
If a client reports a problem, Binom opens a case ("Create Case") and later reports its status ("Get Case"). For a sale, Binom schedules a meeting ("Create Meeting").
What access you will need
Connection method: OAuth 2.0 using the user's login and password. You will need the login, password, and address of your SugarCRM instance. Details for each method are shown in the "Authentication" block on the SugarCRM page in the cabinet.
How to get the SugarCRM integration
SugarCRM is connected on request: first, the Binom team sets up the integration for your account. General catalog rules are described in the instructions how to connect a service from "More integrations".
- Open Integrations → More integrations, enter "SugarCRM" in the "Search integrations" field, and open the SugarCRM card.
- On the "SugarCRM integration for assistant" page, you will see the message "The integration is available on request. Request it now, and we will set it up for you on a priority basis." The assistant here is your Binom. The "Authentication" block shows what access you will need, and the "Actions" list shows everything Binom can do in SugarCRM.
- Click "Request integration". The message "Request sent. You will receive a notification when the integration is available." will appear, and the button will change to "Requested".
- A Binom setup specialist will contact you. When the integration is ready, a "Connect" button will appear on the SugarCRM page.
- Click "Connect," complete the steps in the "Connecting SugarCRM" window, and click "Done". After "Connecting…", the status will change to "Connected". If the message "Confirmation has not arrived yet. The connection may still complete, so check again in a minute." appears, click "Check again".
How to choose what Binom can do in SugarCRM
A connected integration does nothing until you allow actions. The cabinet states this clearly: "Select the actions the assistant can call. While nothing is selected, it has no access to any of them."
- On the SugarCRM page, tick the actions you need in the "Actions" list. The "Filter by actions" field helps you find them by name. The counter shows how many are selected.
- Check the "Ask before changing data" toggle. It is on by default: before any action that writes to a record or deletes it, Binom will describe what it is about to do and wait for your reply.
- Click "Save". The message "Allowed actions saved" confirms your changes.
To start, "Search Records", "Create Lead", "Create Case" and "Create Meeting" are enough. Add update and delete actions when you are ready to let Binom make changes in SugarCRM.
How to check that the integration works
- Start a new conversation with your Binom, for example through the public chat link, and leave test contact details. Check the lead in SugarCRM.
- Delete the test records after checking.
Possible problems
Binom does not use SugarCRM data in its answers
What to check: that the SugarCRM status is "Connected" and the needed actions are ticked (for example "Create Lead").
What to do: tick the actions and click "Save".
How to tell it is solved: the message "Allowed actions saved" appears, and in a new conversation Binom answers using SugarCRM data.
"Could not save the request. Please try again."
What to do: click "Request integration" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom and the integration (SugarCRM).
How to tell it is solved: the button shows "Requested".
"Integration is temporarily unavailable – your request has been saved."
Nothing else is needed: the request is saved, and you will receive a notification when SugarCRM can be connected.
"Reconnection needed"
What it means: "The service no longer accepts saved access, so the assistant does not use it."
What to do: open the SugarCRM page in More integrations, click "Reconnect" and go through the connection window again.
How to tell it is solved: the status shows "Connected".
"Could not start the connection. Please try again."
What to do: click "Connect" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom, the integration (SugarCRM) and a screenshot of the message.
How to tell it is solved: the "Connecting SugarCRM" window opens.
"On a paid plan" instead of the connect button
The page will show "Available on a paid plan. Tell us what you need, and we will let you know when it launches." For what each plan includes, see the plans and subscription pricing page, and for how to change your plan, see the guide how to change or upgrade your plan. After changing your plan, return to More integrations and open SugarCRM again.
"You do not have permission to manage this section."
What it means: only users with the Owner or Admin access level can manage integrations.
What to do: ask the account owner to give you the Admin access level or to connect SugarCRM yourself. More details: access levels in a team.
How to tell it's resolved: after you refresh the page, the integration settings open.
If the problem persists, write to support@binomai.com or send "I want to talk to a human" in the chat with Binom Tutor. Include the name of your Binom, the integration, and attach a screenshot of the message.
How to disconnect SugarCRM
On the SugarCRM page, click "Disconnect". The "Disconnect SugarCRM?" window will show a warning: "The assistant will lose access to the service. To restore it, you will need to reconnect the integration and enter the credentials again." Confirm, and the message "Integration disconnected" will appear.
Other common questions
Can Binom create a task in SugarCRM?
Yes, using the "Create Task" action.
Do I need a developer to integrate SugarCRM?
No. You request SugarCRM in the Integrations → More integrations section, the Binom team sets up the integration, and then you connect the account yourself and choose the actions.
