Previously Sage CRM allowed the integration of Facebook in CRM, now one more has been added in the family of Sage i.e. Twitter integration.The Twitter component for Sage CRM 7.2 is now available from the Marketplace.
All you need to do is to install the Twitter component in CRM as described below:

To configure your Twitter Account in Sage CRM you have to login to your Twitter account first. Then click on the “My Twitter” tab that’s in the “My CRM” section. You will be prompted to associate your CRM logon with your Twitter account.
When you click the Continue button, a new window will open, which will ask if you want to authorize Sage CRM to use your Twitter account. Click the Authorize App button.
A Confirmation page is displayed in CRM, Click on Continue button.
As you can see below your Twitter account will now be associated with CRM account. On the left hand side of the screen you’ll see a textbox where you can compose a new tweet or newsfeed. On the right hand side is a search box where you can type a phrase to search for. You can choose to save this phrase so it always searches Twitter for matching tweets each time you load the page.
