Third party integration via API

David Bundock

We have engaged with a third party marketing automation platform.  To get the most from this we would like it and Sugar to talk to each other via an API. 

Do we need to purchase a full Sugar licence to enable this communication or can it be done using a dedicated API user, if so can anyone advise how this is accomplished?

Thanks

David

    It is up to you if you want an different user that connects to the api or that you solve it using a different platform and oauth2 keys. Personally I would use a different user. This way if the connection / integration is ended you can simply revoke the credentials of that user. On top of that when the integration creates/updates data in your sugar environment and you are using a known user you don't know that the change was made by that integration or by the user him/her self. 

    As Dmytro asked, are you going to develop the integration yourself?
