- Consumer Secret: fd528deb-55fa-4a4b-86d3-a432603cba8b
2. Authorize SugarCRM Access
Any user with API access can be used to authorize Triblio. If preferred, you can create a new user just for the authorization process. You can also limit this new user to only access certain fields within SugarCRM if you only want the integration to read specific fields.
- Log in to Triblio and click "Setup" at the bottom of the left-hand menu. You will be taken to a new tab.
- Click "SugarCRM" from the left-hand menu to open the SugarCRM Management section:
- Click 'CRM Integration'

3. Map SugarCRM Accounts to Triblio
Once SugarCRM is authorized, go back to the SugarCRM set up page and scroll down to step two.
Determine a field to map Triblio activity to SugarCRM accounts.
This mapping is done on the domain level, so choose your SugarCRM field(s) where the domain is stored. The standard field is 'Website'.
You also want to map your account ownership. The standard field is 'assigned_user_id. The standard field to map user is 'id'.
4. Add Blacklist Accounts (Optional)
If you have accounts (i.e. agencies, partners, your parent or child company) whose domain may be listed across many account records, you can choose to exclude those domains from any mappings.
5. Sync Account Records (Optional)
Triblio will automatically sync with your account records overnight; however if you'd like to kickstart the process, you can 'Sync Account Records'. Know that this will use SugarCRM API calls to sync the records.
6. Setup ABM Analytics Module
Triblio's ABM Analytics Module allows you to see account-level activity and intent signals embedded directly into your SugarCRM accounts record.
How it works:
Triblio’s integration pulls first and third-party intent data for known and unknown visitors into a smart panel embedded in SugarCRM's account records. For each account, it tracks indicators of purchase intent such as the number of unique visitors, surges in third-party research, account engagement over time, and content consumption. Discover when your accounts are interested and what they’re interested in to shape cadences and improve response rates.
The instructions are listed under the ABM Analytics Setup button.
7. Sync Triblio data to SugarCRM fields
One of Triblio's popular integrations is the platform's ability to sync account-level data to your associated SugarCRM account records. Note: You need to ensure the API user that Triblio connects through has read/write access to any fields you wish to sync.
