Learn how to enable ExtendSync Autopilot by following the steps below:


Who is required for the initial setup

Enabling ExtendDocs will require three individuals from your organization. For some companies, this may be the same person. The users do not need to be present at the same time but they will each be required to perform an action.

  1. The admin assigned to login to subscriptions.cloudextend.io

  2. A user with admin rights to your Microsoft 365 environment

  3. A user with NetSuite admin rights


Steps to Enable CloudExtend ExtendDocs

Add or Remove CloudExtend Files tab to NetSuite Records

The CloudExtend Files tab is deployed to Customer and Contact records by default. Most users will want to deploy the tab to other NetSuite records as well. In addition, the CloudExtend Files tab can be removed from any or all records entirely.

NetSuite Admin typically would be the one to perform these actions.

Deploy Script to NetSuite Records (Auto Create Folder Only)

For the Autocreate feature to work, CloudExtend script needs to be deployed.

πŸ‘‰ For instructions to deploy AutoCreate, see here.

Configure ExtendDocs

​Step 3: Go to the Configuration tab. Select whether to enable a single option or both:

    • All Email attachments are saved in HTML format.

    • These attachments appear in the Attachments section of the email as hyperlinks.

    • You can also access them anytime from the CloudExtend Files tab.

    • When a new record is created, CloudExtend automatically creates a corresponding folder in OneDrive.
