Enable Calendar Autopilot in the Subscription Portal

✳️ Step 1: Log in to the subscription portal

The CloudExtend admin should log in to the subscription portal (subscriptions.cloudextend.io) and click on Accounts.

In the Accounts section, admins can configure the Calendar Autopilot setup. Once configured, users can be added via the Licenses tab.

✳️ Step 2: Enable Calendar Autopilot

Navigate to the Calendar Autopilot tab and proceed with the following steps:

(1) Select your NetSuite Account.

(2) Activate Calendar Autopilot to enable automatic event synchronization with NetSuite.

(3) Set Calendar Autopilot Preference

(4) Default Organizer Internal ID

  • It is optional to assign a default organizer's employee internal ID. You can find more information on this here.

  • If you leave this blank, the admin who will perform the NetSuite authorization in step 3 will be the default organizer.

(5) Continue to the next step by selecting Configure Autopilot. The next step requires your Microsoft 365 Admin and your NetSuite Admin.

✳️ Step 3: Calendar Autopilot > Configure Autopilot

All steps should be completed for the Calendar Autopilot to work.
​

Step 1: Grant Microsoft 365 Consent

  • Admin would be asked to provide Microsoft grant in the first step for his organization's domain.

Step 2: NetSuite Authorization for the Organization

  • NetSuite Admin needs to authorize the event sync to the whole organization.

  • Admin will be prompted to login to NetSuite.

Step 3: Verify NetSuite SuiteApp

  • Once the NetSuite authorization is completed, we run a check to see if the SuiteApp is installed in your NetSuite account. If that is installed then, no action is required else you will be prompted to install the SuiteApp.

Step 4: Assign Calendar Autopilot Users

  • In the last step Assign Users, Admin will be shown the list of all licensed users, and Event Autopilot will be selected by default for them. He can turn off the feature for some users if he doesn't want them to have access to this feature.

  • End users with a valid license who have had Event Autopilot enabled will be able to confirm the status of their configuration in the Autopilot Status section in the Settings of the ExtendSync app.

Enable or Disable Calendar Autopilot for Users

Admins can enable and disable the Calendar Autopilot feature for users.

Step 1: Visit subscriptions.cloudextend.io and log in to the Admin Portal with your Microsoft ID (this was previously provided to your Customer Success Manager and is typically your Microsoft 365 email address).

Step 2: Go to Manage Licences> Account> Calendar Autopilot

Step 3: Configure Autopilot

Step 4: Go to Assign Users(1) and review the email addresses of users to whom Calendar Autopilot should be enabled.

πŸ’‘ Note
