This guide helps organizations prepare for a successful rollout of ExtendSync for Google NetSuite.
Use it to define internal processes, align departments, and ensure all users know how to work with ExtendSync effectively.
๐งญ Planning Your Rollout
๐ฅ Who Will Use ExtendSync?
Decide which departments will use ExtendSync:
Sales
Customer Service
Support
Finance
Operations
Each team may work with different NetSuite record types, so define unique processes where needed.
๐๏ธ Which Records Should Emails and Events Be Saved To
Each department should establish its own guidelines.
Example:
โYouโre working with contact Jess Nana at a company Socially Savvy Studio.
You have an open opportunity and an open estimate related to this customer.
These are 4 different record types in NetSuite: contact, customer, opportunity, and estimate.
Decide where you want emails saved โ for instance:
Customer record (for organization-wide visibility)
Opportunity or Estimate record (for context during deals)
๐ก Good news:
When you save an email to a Contact, Opportunity, or Estimate, it automatically rolls up to the Customer record.
๐ง What Should Be Saved to NetSuite?
ExtendSync lets you save:
Emails
Events
Attachments
Determine what your organization wants to capture.
All saved content appears under each recordโs Communication > Messages tab for full visibility.
๐ก Tip: Attachments consume NetSuite storage.
For large attachments, consider saving to Google Drive instead.
๐ Learn about saving attachments efficiently
๐ How Much Should Be Saved?
โIf it isnโt in NetSuite, it didnโt happenโ.
Encourage users to save all important communications โ emails, meetings, and attachments โ to ensure full visibility.
Attachments do take up storage space, so you may want to consider using Google Drive to save these attachments if they are over a certain size.
๐งพ Which Fields Should Be Included When Creating Records?
With ExtendSync, users can create, edit, or view NetSuite records directly from Gmail.
For each supported record type:
Decide which standard and custom fields should appear on the form.
Configure these in ExtendSync so users see the right details when creating or editing records.
