How can I get the Outlook plug-in to detect a custom module as I am unable to create an email relationship in studio for the custom module?

Hi , I am new to sugarcrm & no coder. These are the basic pointers of my case -

  1. I built a custom module (Clients) for my purpose in my SugarCRM Community Edition 6.5 using the module builder.
  2. I am also using an outlook plugin for my external email client.
  3. I need to archive the email communication using the outlook plugin.
  4. This can be achieved only when the plug-in detects the custom module.
  5. The only possible method is by creating an activities relationship for emails with the custom module in Studio.
I have gone through many different threads for this issue, however, all majorly ask you to make changes to the code. As mentioned, I am no coder & hence unable to make the required changes.

Is there any method with which I can create a relationship between the custom module & emails so as to get the outlook plugin to detect the custom module without making any manual changes in the coding for the CRM?

Appreciate any help.

  • Hi Girish,

    Have you tried adding a relationship from your custom module to the Activities module?

    This relationship will create a relationship to the different activities modules (Emails, Notes, Calls, Meetings, Tasks). This may help to create the relationship, thought studio, that you need for your Outlook plugin to connect properly.

    I hope this helps!
