FAQ: Steps to Take If You Change Your Google Workspace Domain

ExtendSync Google | How to continue using ExtendSync after a domain change

Updated today


Overview

If your organization changes its Google Workspace (formerly Google Apps) domain, ExtendSync for Google NetSuite will stop functioning until the domain change is properly reflected across licensing, NetSuite user records, and Google authorization.

This article explains the required steps to restore ExtendSync functionality after a domain change.


🚨 When This Applies

Follow this guide if:

  • Your Google Workspace domain has changed (for example, @oldcompany.com@newcompany.com)

  • Users receive new Gmail email addresses

  • ExtendSync users can no longer authenticate or sync

These steps are mandatory to continue using ExtendSync.


Why These Steps Are Required

ExtendSync relies on:

  • The Google Workspace domain for licensing

  • Matching NetSuite Employee email addresses and Gmail IDs

  • Active Google authorization tied to the domain

When the domain changes, these dependencies must be updated to restore access.


How to Update ExtendSync After a Domain Change

Step 1: Update Your ExtendSync License

Who: NetSuite Admin

ExtendSync licenses are tied to your Google Workspace domain.

  • Request that your ExtendSync license be updated to the new domain name

  • Include your NetSuite account ID and old/new domain details

Step 2: Update NetSuite Employee Email Addresses

Who: NetSuite Admin

You must ensure that NetSuite Employee records align with the new Gmail addresses.

Option A: Update Employee Records (Recommended)

  • Update each employee’s Email field in NetSuite to the new Gmail address

  • Ensure the NetSuite Employee Email exactly matches the Gmail ID

Option B: Use Celigo Employee Mapping Records

  • If you cannot change employee email addresses in NetSuite:

    • Create Celigo Employee Mapping custom records

    • Map existing NetSuite employees to their new Gmail addresses

  • ➡️ Follow the guide: Celigo Employee mapping custom records to map the employee to the new Gmail Address

One of these two options is required for ExtendSync to function.

Step 3: Reauthorize ExtendSync with Google

Who: Google Workspace Super Admin

Because authorization is domain-specific, ExtendSync must be reauthorized.

Step 4: Refresh User Licenses in ExtendSync

Who: NetSuite Admin

To ensure ExtendSync captures the updated email addresses:

  1. Open the ExtendSync setup in NetSuite.

  2. Go to the Licenses tab.

  3. Uncheck all currently assigned employee licenses.

  4. Re-check the licenses for each user.

  5. Save your changes.

This forces ExtendSync to register the new Gmail addresses for licensed users.


Best Practices

  • Perform these steps before users attempt to use ExtendSync on the new domain

  • Complete license updates before reassigning users

  • Ensure Google authorization is performed by a Super Admin

  • Email address mismatches are the most common cause of post-domain-change issues
