SugarCRM
Add SugarCRM to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
SugarCRM runs both as Sugar's own cloud service and on hardware a customer maintains themselves, so an embedded SugarCRM integration has to handle either, which makes the base URL and the version behind it per-instance facts rather than constants. The platform is metadata driven: which modules exist, which fields sit on each one and how they relate are all published as metadata, and a self-hosted instance extended over a decade looks very different from a fresh cloud one. Reading that metadata first, then mapping against what it reports, is what turns an unusual instance into an ordinary one. fastn keeps the per-instance credentials and endpoints and maintains the integration as versions move.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Support cloud and self-hosted instances from one integration, with base URL and version handled as configuration.
Pull module metadata during onboarding so your product maps against the fields that instance genuinely exposes.
Read and write opportunities and related records so your product's output lands in the customer's own pipeline.
Follow module relationships so a record your product writes is attached to the account it belongs to.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent inspects the available modules before deciding where a piece of information belongs.
An agent reads an account's related opportunities and cases to answer a question about it.
An agent writes a record update within granted permissions on one instance, and that call is audited.
Example prompt
Show the open opportunities on this account and any cases logged against it in the last month.
Set up SugarCRM in 4 steps
- 01Enable the SugarCRM connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own SugarCRM account, so calls run under their credentials rather than a shared key.
- 03Decide which accounts, contacts and opportunities your product needs, map those fields, then enable the actions and triggers you want.
- 04Call it from your product and expose it to your agents through the same governed connection.
Why teams use the SugarCRM integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a SugarCRM integration without building it. Your customers connect their own SugarCRM account inside your product and work their accounts, contacts and opportunities there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every CRM instance is customised, so standard objects are never the whole story. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a SugarCRM update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed SugarCRM connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep customer records aligned between your product and the CRM each customer already runs without wiring it twice.

Google AdsSugarCRM integration FAQ
How do I add a SugarCRM integration to my product?
Enable the SugarCRM connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own SugarCRM account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no SugarCRM client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own SugarCRM account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own SugarCRM account and only ever sees their own accounts, contacts and opportunities. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this SugarCRM integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent inspects the available modules before deciding where a piece of information belongs.
Who maintains the SugarCRM integration?
fastn does. When SugarCRM changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Does the SugarCRM integration support custom fields and custom objects?
Yes. CRM instances are heavily customised, so field and object mapping is configuration rather than code. Each customer maps their own fields during setup, which means onboarding a customer with an unusual SugarCRM schema does not require a deploy on your side.
Can records sync both ways?
Yes. You can read from SugarCRM, write back to it, and react to changes through triggers, so a record updated in your product and a record updated in SugarCRM do not drift apart.
What can I build with the SugarCRM integration?
A common starting point: support cloud and self-hosted instances from one integration, with base URL and version handled as configuration. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the SugarCRM integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding SugarCRM does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
