Troubleshooting: Autopilot watch renewal failed

ExtendSync Outlook | Learn more about Autopilot watch renewal failure messages

Updated over 3 weeks ago

When Autopilot is enabled for your organization, ExtendSync begins watching for emails that licensed users have placed on Autopilot.
​

If ExtendSync is unable to renew this β€œwatch,” users may receive a one-time in-app notification indicating that Autopilot could not be enabled or maintained.
​

Even though this issue has been resolved for most environments, we are keeping this article available for reference.

πŸ’‘ Recommendation:
While not required, we suggest that a user’s User Principal Name (UPN) match their NetSuite login email to avoid confusion during authentication.
​


Why Autopilot Watch Renewal Can Fail

Below are the two most common reasons an Autopilot watch cannot be created or renewed.
​

1. The user’s Outlook email is not a Microsoft 365 account

Autopilot requires a Microsoft 365 mailbox because it depends on Microsoft Graph APIs.
If a user logs into NetSuite using a different email provider (e.g., Gmail), but the Outlook mailbox used for Autopilot is not Microsoft 365, the watch will fail.

Example:

  • NetSuite login: user@gmail.com

  • Outlook mailbox: user@gmail.com (non-M365)

  • β†’ ❌ Autopilot watch cannot be created

2. Admin granted Microsoft consent using the WRONG email domain

When granting Microsoft Graph API consent for Autopilot, the admin must be logged in with a Microsoft 365 account from the same domain as the users who will be using Autopilot.
​

Example scenario:

  • User email: jane@abc.com

  • Admin grants consent using: admin@xyz.com

  • β†’ ❌ Autopilot watch setup fails for jane@abc.com

Solution:
Admin should re-grant consent while logged into Microsoft 365 with:

  • The same domain as the users (@abc.com), or

  • A properly configured alias associated with that domain

πŸ‘‰ The admin can re-grant consent from the CloudExtend subscription portal.
