Registering Act-On with SugarCRM
As of the Winter 2018 release, Sugar requires that external APIs be registered in the ‘Platform’ field of each Sugar instance in order to integrate. This is a prerequisite for customers to upgrade to Sugar's V11 API Endpoint for retrieving records, which may resolve issues with timeouts related to syncing tagged records.
