How to Connect Outreach and Sugar Sell CRM
Outreach.io is one of the most valuable Business Development tools on the market. With its ability to easily create different sequences, target certain profiles or industries, and customizable fields, it’s one of the most foolproof ways to nurture inbound and outbound leads down the sales funnel.
SugarCRM‘s Sugar Sell is one of the leading CRM tools on the market today. So when we discovered Outreach, we knew we had to create an integration for salespeople to seamlessly sync their customers with their business development platform.
If you’re ready to sync your sales data with your Outreach platform, this how-to is for you!
Step One: Install the Integration
If you haven’t yet, purchase and download the Outreach-Sugar integration from Sugar Outfitters. Then follow these steps:
- Download the plugin from Sugar Outfitter, a zip file will be downloaded.
- The public key will be received on successful download and payment.
- Navigate to SugarCRM Administration.
- Go to Module Loader.
- Upload the downloaded .zip file.
- You will then be prompted to enter the key received in step 2.
- Validate the key from the above step.
- Upon successful validation, the package will be installed!
Step Two: Configure the integration
- Enter the values in the “Outreach Key Details” section fields
Client ID: Id provided by Outreach support.

Syncing Your Data
This last step in the initial connection process allows for the syncing of data from Outreach to SugarCRM. Whenever information in Outreach is added or updated, SugarCRM is notified and updated via a webhook.
- Navigate to the Outreach section on the SugarCRM Administration page
- Click on the “Validate Keys” link
- Click on the “Setup Outreach Webhook” button as seen below.
Scroll down to see the Outreach Webhook Details section. If the Webhook ID field is populated (as shown below), setup is complete.
Note: If you want to manage records in Outreach and not have them sync to SugarCRM, you can also disable the webhook by clicking the “Delete” button.
Customizable Fields
- Navigate to the SugarCRM Administration panel
- In the Outreach section, click on the “Configure Sync Fields” link to display the field configuration page.
The configuration page will display all available fields for mapping by module:
- Module: Select the module from the dropdown field on the top left, to see the available fields in that module to map.
- Sync Enabled?: Select “Yes” in the dropdown if you want to sync records in the selected module.
- Outreach Fields: The list of Outreach fields available for mapping with SugarCRM fields in the selected module is listed. If there are fields in the SugarCRM module that do not exist in Outreach, you may be able to map them to a custom field.
- SugarCRM Fields: Select the SugarCRM field in that module from the SugarCRM dropdown list that corresponds to the Outreach field you wish to sync with.
- Sync Direction: This provides the option, by field, to select whether to sync from Sugar to Outreach, from Outreach to Sugar, or bidirectionally.
