🚨 IMPORTANT

NetSuite requires an admin role to view the full results of the saved search you will create below. This is due to the specific permissions for message records. Users running this search without an admin role may not see the full results.

Once you install the SuiteApp, a saved search will be automatically created in your NetSuite account: ExtendSync MailApps - Usage Metrics.

Check the links below on how to install the SuiteApp which includes a pre-built saved search to help you with your metrics.

What's included in the usage stats?

  • All emails and events are attached via ExtendSync usage stats.

    For example:

    • If you receive an email in your inbox and attach it to NetSuite it will be included.

    • If you create a new email and attach it while still in compose mode it will be included in the stats.

    • If you send it and attach it from your sent items folder it will be included.

    • When composing a calendar event.

    • If you are attaching a previously saved event for which you are not the organizer it will also be included.


FAQs

If there is an external ID assigned to the mail.
