Creating Email Templates

Please refer to the Netsuite Help Centre for further documentation and examples on this.

Creating an Employee record.

For the purpose of this module, this record only needs to have a First Name, Last Name and an email address. All outgoing emails will appear to be sent from this employee record.

Updating Existing Customers

When the module is installed, you can choose by default which transactions you want customers to receive, for example, you may want to only send Sales Orders and Invoices.

You can do this by setting the default value for the custom entity fields

Go to

1. Customisation > Records / Lists and Fields > Entity Fields
2. Sort by Description and field the Email<<Transaction Name>> Fields that are checkboxes.
   
3. Edit the default value as required and save. Note, all are defaulted to checked by default.:
    

Existing Customers

Existing customers are not automatically updated when the bundle is installed. To do this, run a mass update on the customers you wish to update, and select the appropriate Email Preference fields above. Please refer to the Netsuite Help guide for details on how to perform a mass update.

Set-up Transaction email Preferences

Select Set-up >Transaction E-mails > Preferences from the main menu.

Choose One Transaction Type to test. In this example we will use the Invoice.

1. If using One World, select the subsidiary that this setup applies to.
2. If using this for Multiple Netsuite websites, tick this option.

Select the transaction body field that the email will be sent from. For Statements, select an entity field. The Type of the field is displayed in the Email Field.
 

1. Select the email template to be used for this record type.
2. Select the from Email Preference.
3. Select the default Sending Preference:
   1. To Send - means that the transaction will be sent when the record is saved.
   2. Bulk Send - means that you can use the Bulk Sending option to send all the transactions at a specific time.
   3. Do Not Send, means that this record type will not be sent.
4. Change the e-mail From to an Employee record that has the company email address (i.e. sales@acme.com). This Employee record does not need to have access to the system.
5. Select the Email Copy Group that will be added to the email for that customer.
6. Tick Send PDF - This will include the transaction as it is printed.
7. Select optional Terms and Conditions
8. Add a Marketing flyer if desired.

Repeat for the other records.

Multi Website emails

If you are using multiple Netsuite websites, you will need to add each website to the list:

You can get the Name of the website from the SOURCE field on an exisiting Sales order.

Copying in groups of Contacts

For example, if you send a customer's invoices to accounts@xxx.com, it is also possible to copy in any contacts with the Email Copy Group field populated on the contact, that matches the Email Copy Group  on the Preference record for invoices.

Email Copy Group on a Contact

You can assign different e-mail addresses to receive Quotes, PO’s, Invoices or other support transactions. The set-up allows you to use existing fields you may already have.

Notes

The Sent from email preference allows you to send from either the user or the Company on a per transaction type basis.

 The e-mail Sending Preference contains 5 options:

Copying in BBC Email

There is now the option of including one or more email addresses in each record type in the preferences:

Whilst multiple addresses are supported (separated by commas), it is recommended that as few email addresses as needed are used, to reduce the overall number of emails sent IF there are a large number of contact email addresses. Only 10 email addresses will be sent per email.
