Act! CRM

You can use the Act! CRM connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Act! CRM and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the Act! CRM Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Act! CRM, you first must add the connector, as follows:

  1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Act! CRM row.

  4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the Act! CRM connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to Act! CRM

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.
