ExtendSync Google | How to enable real-time calendar sync for your organization

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Calendar Autopilot ensures that calendar events are automatically captured and kept in sync between Google Calendar and NetSuite, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.

Calendar Autopilot is available as a standalone product or as an add-on to ExtendSync Google.


Who Is Required for Setup?

To complete the initial setup, you need:

  • A user with NetSuite Administrator rights

  • Access to the organization’s Google Workspace account


⚠️ Before You Begin

🚩 Important:
If your organization has any existing calendar integration enabled, disable it before enabling Calendar Autopilot.


Step 1: Grant Google Access in CloudExtend Setup

  1. In NetSuite, go to:
    Setup → Custom → Celigo CloudExtend Setup

  2. Open the Access to Google tab.

  3. Click Sign in with Google for both authorization prompts:

    • Grant 1: Enables NetSuite → Google calendar sync

    • Grant 2: Enables Google → NetSuite calendar sync

  4. Complete both Google authorization flows.

Once both grants are approved, proceed to Calendar & Autopilot Settings.

Step 2: Configure Calendar & Autopilot Settings

(1) Calendar Settings

Configure the following options carefully:

  • Sync Direction:

    • One-way or bi-directional calendar sync

  • Event Form:

    • Select Standard Event Form
      ⚠️ ExtendSync supports only the standard event form.
      If your preferred form is custom, you must select the Standard form here.

  • Organizer for Externally Created Events:

    • Choose the default organizer

  • Default Visibility:

    • Public or Private

Click Save once these settings are complete.

(2) Create / Update NetSuite Web Services Connection

Calendar Autopilot requires a NetSuite Token-Based Authentication (TBA) connection.

Generate Access Tokens

  1. Open a new NetSuite tab.

  2. Go to Home → Settings → Manage Access Tokens.

  3. Click New My Access Token.

  4. Set:

    • Application Name: Celigo CloudExtend for Google Apps

    • Token Name: Add a label such as “Cal AP” for easy identification

  5. Click Save.

NetSuite will generate the token values.

Apply Tokens

  1. Copy the generated Token IDs.

  2. Paste them into the Create/Update NetSuite Web Services Connection section.

  3. Click Submit.

(3) Autopilot Settings ( Autopilot for Emails)

If Autopilot for Emails has not yet been enabled for your organization:

  • Complete the Email Autopilot setup first

If Email Autopilot is already configured, you may skip this section.

Step 3: Assign Calendar Autopilot Licenses

Assign Calendar Autopilot licenses to users who require calendar sync access.

💡 Note:

This step is not required for existing Enterprise Edition customers who already have default Calendar Sync enabled and are upgrading to Real-Time Calendar Sync. If the licenses are already validated—simply click Next and Finish in the final step.

Step 4: Complete Setup

  1. Go to the Completion tab.

  2. Click Finish to complete the setup wizard.

Calendar Autopilot is now enabled for your organization.


📝 Important Notes & Limitations

  • Calendar Autopilot requires:

    • Matching Google Workspace email and NetSuite employee email

  • Custom event forms are not supported

  • Calendar Autopilot is real-time and replaces legacy calendar sync
