SugarCRM
The QlikSugarCRM Connector uses Sugar Web Service APIs to fetch data from your SugarCRM account, such as Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities.
Ways to access your data
To access your SugarCRM data, you will need to authenticate the connector with your SugarCRM account credentials. To do this, enter a valid username and password, and the base URL for your SugarCRM account. The base URL is the URL when you first log in.
