ExtendSync for Google NetSuite End-User Guidelines and Go Live Checklist

ExtendSync Google | Go Live checklist and End-User Guidlines

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.


🧭 Planning Your Rollout

👥 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.


🗂️ Which Records Should Emails and Events Be Saved To

Each department should establish its own guidelines.

Example:
You’re 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 — for instance:

  • Customer record (for organization-wide visibility)

  • Opportunity or Estimate record (for context during deals)

💡 Good news:
When you save an email to a Contact, Opportunity, or Estimate, it automatically rolls up to the Customer record.


📧 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 record’s Communication > Messages tab for full visibility.

💡 Tip: Attachments consume NetSuite storage.


For large attachments, consider saving to Google Drive instead.

📏 How Much Should Be Saved?

If it isn’t in NetSuite, it didn’t happen”.

  • Encourage users to save all important communications — emails, meetings, and attachments — 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.


🧾 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.
