How it works

SugarCRM integration is used to automatically open a SugarCRM call for every call according the conditions (Queue, Call status or Outbound) set in the trigger.

The SugarCRM call will be populated with information about the call and displayed for the agent in the SugarCRM environment.

The following are list of things you have to do to make the integration work:

Create SugarCRM account
Create a configuration for the account
Create a trigger (Tools → Triggers), set the conditions you want to trigger the integration and add integrations action (for info see Voice Triggers) by selecting SugarCRM integration, the SugarCRM account you have configured and the configuration you want to use.
Login agent in SugarCRM and Motion

Every time there is an outgoing/incoming call, the trigger conditions are checked and a SugarCRM call is created and assigned to the agent managing the call if the conditions are met.

When an agent manages a call, the agent will first be searched in SugarCRM by Full Name and then assigned to the task only if the agent account is found.

Otherwise, the call will be assigned to the SugarCRM administrator account used in Motion-SugarCRM integration.

This integration works also with Suite CRM!

On this page:

Any interaction occurred through this integration can be searched by the Agent from the list by:

contact's phone_home
user_name

If all the configurations are properly configured, the sugarCRM call will be opened as shown below.

Please check the version of your SugarCRM instance. Our SugarCRM integration is working correctly and it’s tested with SugarCRM version greater then 6.5.xhttp://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.6/API/Web_Services/API_Versioning/

Important configuration Hints

In order to create and assign tasks to agents properly, you have to make sure:

Agent Username in the SugarCRM profile is exactly the same as Agent Username in Motion, like shown in the images below

the Agent is logged in XCALLY Motion Phonebar, XCALLY Motion web interface and SugarCRM web interface
the Agent enables the browser pop-ups, when he/she receives the first call

Create a SugarCRM Configuration

A SugarCRM configuration is used to design the content of the SugarCRM call (Subject, Description and Fields) that is created and displayed for the agent managing calls. You can create multiple configurations for a single SugarCRM Account and use them in different triggers. In this way, you will be able to use different call layout for outbound and inbound calls.

To create a new configuration, edit the SugarCRM account, go under configurations tab and click on

The configuration will be created with default Subject and Description settings that you can simply use without any modification.

You can also edit the configuration and customize the Subject, Description and Fields of the SugarCRM call according to your needs.

The default Subject and Description settings depends on the type of configuration. For example, the default subject configuration for Queue Type is [XCALLY Ticket] Queue calleridnum while for Outbound Type it's [XCALLY Ticket] Outbound Call destcalleridnum.

Configuration changes are automatically applied, without any service restart.

You can use Motion Standard Variables or Custom Variables in the configuration.
