Installation Procedure for SugarCRM 7.0 and Freshdesk

1. Download the file named "FD_SugarCrm_version7.zip" attached at the end of this article.
2. Login to SugarCRM and go to Admin settings.
3. Choose the Module Builder option.
   
4. Upload the zip file you downloaded in step 1 and click Commit. If it's successfully loaded, you will be taken back to the home screen.

6. You can create dashlets for Accounts, Contacts, and Leads tabs in the menu bar.
   1. To create a dashlet in the Contacts tab, click on the contact you like to get more information about in the Contacts tab. This will take you to the detailed contact information.
   2. In the dashlet panel, click on Create > Add Row > Add Dashlet and select “Freshdesk Tickets” from the dashlets options that show up.
   3. In the next window, provide a name and click Save. The dashlet is added to the panel.
   4. When you do this for the first time, you'll need to fill in the Freshdesk domain and API credentials by clicking the personal credential under Settings (the gear icon).
7. Now you can edit ticket properties from the dashlet by clicking on the vertical dots. This will show the corresponding ticket properties which can be updated.
8. Repeat step 6 to create dashlets in the Accounts and Leads tabs.

Notes:
Include your Freshdesk domain URL in the config_override.php file to prevent the XSRF check.
If you fetch contact-related information from SugarCRM into the Freshdesk app, change the parameter 'verify_client_ip' in Sugar CRM's config.php file from 'true' to 'false'.
If you're using an on-demand instance of SugarCRM, go to admin > system settings > advanced, uncheck the option 'validate the user IP address', and save the changes.
