Overview

This node allows interaction with the SugarCRM API, enabling users to perform various operations on different SugarCRM resources. Specifically for the "Other" resource with the "Create" operation, it lets you create records in custom SugarCRM modules by specifying a custom endpoint and providing JSON payloads.

Common scenarios include:

  • Creating records in custom or less common SugarCRM modules not covered by standard resource options.
  • Sending complex or customized JSON data structures to SugarCRM endpoints.
  • Automating data entry into SugarCRM for bespoke modules or extensions.

Practical example:

  • You have a custom module named CustomModule_c in SugarCRM and want to create new entries programmatically. Using this node, you specify CustomModule_c as the custom endpoint and provide the JSON payload representing the record fields to create new records seamlessly.

Properties

Name Meaning
Custom Endpoint The specific custom SugarCRM module endpoint where the record will be created (e.g., CustomModule_c).
Custom JSON Payload A JSON object containing additional custom fields or data to include in the request body.
Send JSON Body Boolean flag indicating whether to send a JSON body with the request.
JSON Body The actual JSON content to send in the request body if "Send JSON Body" is enabled.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the created records returned from the SugarCRM API. Each item corresponds to one created record and contains all fields as returned by SugarCRM after creation.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for SugarCRM API access, including base URL and authentication details.
  • Needs an API authentication token obtained via OAuth2 password grant flow using provided credentials.
  • Relies on SugarCRM REST API v11_11 endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: No records found or unexpected API response structure
    This error may occur if the API returns an empty or malformed response. Verify that the custom endpoint is correct and that the JSON payload matches the expected schema for the custom module.

  • Authentication errors
    Ensure that the API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions. Check that the base URL and login details are accurate.

  • JSON parsing errors
    When entering JSON in "Custom JSON Payload" or "JSON Body," ensure the JSON syntax is valid. Invalid JSON will cause the node to fail.

  • Missing required fields
    The custom module might require certain mandatory fields. Make sure these are included either in the additional fields or the custom JSON payload.
