Two Autopilot Saved Methods:

While both options allow you to sync emails to NetSuite in less clicks the first option will be an email address-based sync and the other is thread-based.


Email Address-Based Autopilot (Based on To/From/CC)

💡 Note:

Autopilot does not include file attachments. This is by design based on feedback from customers that are concerned about using up their allotted NetSuite storage space. If you receive an email with attachments that you want to attach to NetSuite you can upload them manually, attach them via our Google Drive integration, or cancel Autopilot, forward the mail to yourself, attach the files, and then re-enable Autopilot.

Thread-Based Autopilot (Based on Updates to this thread)

Another option is using Updates to this thread, this will only sync emails to NetSuite record/s within the email thread.

Step 2: Select Updates to this thread.

Step 3: Scroll down to Auto Associate to section to choose what records you want to associate current and future back-and-forth emails to.
