Transactions

Click the Transactions subtab to set email preferences for your transactions.

Field

Description

Customers Default to Email Transactions

Later, you can change the settings on individual customer records as needed by checking or clearing the appropriate boxes.

Send to all Administrators

Check this box to send every employee with the Administrator role a copy of each transaction form emailed to customers or vendors.

Security-sensitive email is always sent to the owner of the email address. For example, password reset email does not obey preferences that override routing rules (such as the Send to all Administrators preference).

Examples of security-sensitive email include:

  • Change Password

  • Change Email Address

  • Security Questions (Setup or Update)

  • Two-Factor Authentication Setup (one-time password)

With this preference enabled, when you click the Email button on a transaction, an email form opens, allowing you to modify the recipients and email text.

If this preference is disabled, when you click the Email button on a transaction, the transaction email is sent immediately.

CC Customer on All Emails Related to Orders Placed by Contacts

Check this box if you want to send all web store order email messages to:

  • the contact who placed the order, AND

  • the email address defined for the customer

If this box is not checked, all web store order email is sent only to the contact who placed the order. No email is sent to the main customer email address.

Email Domains (DKIM)

By setting up domain keys for your email domains, your DKIM headers are applied to outgoing email messages sent from your NetSuite account. This code header contains information to authenticate the email with the receiving server but does not add any text to your messages.

Note:

Past procedures for setting up DKIM have changed in the 2024.1 release.

Column

Description

Domain Name

Enter the domain name from which you want to send email, one domain per row.

Status

After saving the domain name in NetSuite displays the status of the domain: Pending Verification, Ready, or Requires Action.

Details

Review the messages that are displayed (as needed) for informational purposes or when more action may be requested or required.

Enter your email domains in NetSuite and use the information generated in NetSuite to add DNS records at your domain provider's website to complete your DKIM setup.

Sandbox and Release Preview subtab with Send Email To options selected.

Option

Description

Send Email To (You should choose this option.)

Choose this option to ensure email messages are delivered to specific addresses.

  • Enter the email address or email addresses to which to deliver email messages. Separate each email address entered with a comma.

  • Choose this option when testing your web store in your Sandbox or in your Release Preview accounts. This option ensures web store generated email messages are routed to the required recipient.

Send Email to Logged In User

Choose this option to route email messages to the user logged in to the NetSuite UI.

If you select this option, be aware of the following behaviors:

  • Email messages initiated by an error in a scheduled script follow the notification settings in the script record.

  • Email messages generated from web stores will not be sent to the user logged in to the NetSuite UI. For example, an order notification email message would be sent to the shopper’s email address, not the logged in user’s email address. To prevent this, choose the Send Email To option instead.

Do Not Send Emails

Choose this option if you do not want any email messages sent.
