Installing Flexidocs for SugarCRM

This section outlines the steps required to get up and running with Flexidocs.

Creating your Account

Flexidocs is a cloud-based platform that provides an intelligent document creation and conversion tool that seamlessly integrates with electronic signing. In order to access the system, you must first create an account. In order to do this, click on the Free Trial option.

Once you’ve done this, you will be presented with a registration form. Enter your details into the form and click Register in order to complete your registration.

Once you have done this, you have created your Flexidocs account and the next step is to configure it and connect it to your CRM.

Installing your SugarCRM Module

The next step is to install the SugarCRM module for your CRM. Once you’ve logged into the Flexidocs platform, simply navigate to the Settings area within Flexidocs and access CRM Settings as shown.

Once you have entered your settings, click Update Settings in order to save those settings. Once you have done this, click Validate CRM Connection in order to verify that your settings are correct. If this fails, check your CRM URL, admin username and password.

If the above steps succeed, the system will indicate that you have successfully connected.

Enabling Flexidocs in your CRM Modules

In order to enable Flexidocs for the modules within your CRM system, navigate to the CRM integration screen on your Flexidocs console:

https://console. flexidocs.co/settings

From here, you will see a list of modules enabled in Modules to Show Flexidocs. Simply select which modules you would like to enable the Flexidocs menu item for, which will then provide you with access to the variables within that module.

Once you have updated your module selection, click the Update Settings button in order to save these settings.
