Admin: Add New Users to ExtendSync for Outlook NetSuite

ExtendSync Outlook | Admin's checkpoint for new users of the app

Updated over 2 weeks ago

For organizations that have ExtendSync for Outlook NetSuite

Prerequisites

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

  2. A user with NetSuite admin rights

  3. User ExtendSync License


Review Outlook add-in requirement

The following clients support Outlook add-ins:

  • Outlook with a Microsoft 365 subscription*

  • Outlook for iOS

  • Outlook on Android

  • Support Exchange Online (See set requirements by Microsoft here)

  • Outlook.com

The client MUST be connected to an Exchange server or Microsoft 365 using a direct connection. When configuring the client, the user must choose an Exchange, Office 365, or Outlook.com account type. If the client is configured to connect with POP3 or IMAP, add-ins will not load.


Review NetSuite End-User Settings

NetSuite Administrator's checklist for end-user configuration:

Step 1: Enable the user preference Rich Text Editing

Advise users to do the following in NetSuite, go to Home> Set Preferences> Appearance then enable Rich Text Editing.

While not required we have found that certain emails with HTML may transfer as blank or with all the HTML coding if this setting is not enabled at the user level. This may result in a NetSuite error such as The field message containing more than the maximum number (1000000) of characters allowed.

Step 2: Ensure that the role is not set to a Web Services Only role

In NetSuite, go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles. Validate if the Web Service Only Role is OFF.

Step 3: User roles have the necessary permissions for each record type the user will be working with

The following permissions are enabled on any and all roles that will be logging in and using ExtendSync Outlook.

In NetSuite, go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles then choose the role to update:

  1. SOAP Web Services

  2. User Access Tokens

  3. SAML Single Sign-On

    • ONLY if your company uses Single Sign-On, ie OKTA, OneLogin, etc.

    • If you enable SSO and do not actually use SSO, users will NOT be able to login to NetSuite until you remove it.

  4. Allow JS/HTML uploads

    • if your user will need to upload .js and .htm files

  5. Log in using Access Tokens

    • Additional permission for User Access Tokens

  6. Documents and Files

    • The minimum permission required is Create. (if users will be attaching files)

  7. Track Messages

    • The minimum permission required is Create.

Manage Licenses in the CloudExtend Portal

Subscription Admins can log into https://subscriptions.cloudextend.io with their Microsoft account to start managing end-user licenses and assign other administrators.

If users have different email addresses for NetSuite and Microsoft, the admin must update the email in the license section of CloudExtend by replacing the NetSuite email with the Microsoft email.

Allocating Licenses to End-users

Click on Manage Licenses.

Enter the email addresses of the users you want to allocate licenses for. If you want to remove a user license click the trash can next to their email. Once the user is allocated a license, they will receive an email from CloudExtend within a few hours with installation instructions. **If your organization has a Microsoft 365 subscription your 365 Admin can install the App for one or more users by following the instructions here.

Assign Email Autopilot (Enterprise Only)

Go to Manage Licences> Account> Email Autopilot> Autopilot Settings

Click Step 3: Assign Users (1) and review the email addresses of users subscribed to CloudExtend(2).

Admin can globally enable and choose an Autopilot feature(3) or choose users from the list.

  • Any update will take an hour to take effect.

  • Users can also reload the add in for updates to take effect immediately.

Validate if users can see the Autopilot option on the app. If not, advise to Reload for the system to recognize the update. See instructions here.

πŸ’‘Note: CloudExtend gives users full control over the method(s) used to attach emails to NetSuite and we’ve created a video and guide with our suggestions on how and when to use each method.
