One-Time Saving Method

With every email that you want to be saved in NetSuite, you have to manually save it every single time. When to use it:

  • You only want very important emails in NetSuite.

  • You are saving on transactions like Sales Orders or Invoices.

  • You typically do not have long email threads going on with your customers.

  • You are on the Group Edition and do not have a choice (Autopilot options are only available on the Enterprise Edition. Ask us about upgrading.)

Step 1: Switch to One-Time tab and select the record where you want to save the email to.

Step 2: If you also want to save this email to additional records that we did not pull back for you, use the search box to look for the record and attach the files.

Save Attachments to OneDrive and SharePoint and see them in NetSuite

If you have previously associated a OneDrive or SharePoint file or folder with a NetSuite record simply save the attachment(s) from Outlook to the folder and it will appear in NetSuite automatically since the folder is associated with NetSuite. If you have enabled desktop sync it's even easier, save the attachment to your synced OneDrive or SharePoint folder on your desktop.

This will not take up NetSuite storage space!
