General Tips Related to Case Emails

  • Communication sent from the Reply field will use the email address specified in the Profile. If left

blank in the profile then will use the one set up under Company > Return Email Address.

  • To copy other recipients:
  • Email button on the Messages subtab or the email icon on the dropdown at the top of case page.

Here you can add attachments to the email, BCC other employees Caution: Shows history for the customer to see next time they receive an email from the case so if not sending to customer do NOT use this method.

  • Add multiple email addresses in SEND E-MAIL TO field on a case by separating with commas.

Will be treated equally to original recipient.

  • Add contractors/vendors as employees that don’t normally have access to NS. They can still

reply to the cases, but it will only show as internal and customers won’t see this interaction. BUT don’t forget to modify the Message to Employee to remove the message history.

Inbound Email Case Capture

Allows customers and prospects to email a question from their own email account to specific address at your company, resulting in the creation of a case. Allows customers to use your non- NetSuite web site Contact Us form which converts to an email.

Support Preferences Tips General tab

  • Check DEFAULT CASE FORM TO INTERNAL ONLY
  • Avoids accidental emails going to customers if there are interactions with
  • ther than just the customer.
  • 3 line SuiteScipt to automatically change to reply to customer based on

status type. SuiteFlow cannot access these fields.

  • Check RECEIVE CUSTOMER REPLIES IN CASE LIST ONLY
  • Global setting that will not send replies to customer even if support rep

replies to the update email in their inbox. Can be overridden by settings in the Notification tab.

  • Avoids receiving duplicate emails under specific conditions:
  • if SEND NOTIFICATIONS REPLIES TO CUSTOMER (Notification tab) is also

checked then it overrides this and allows the support rep to reply directly in the email to the customer also exposing email address of rep.

  • Duplicates can occur when a customer replies directly to the email rather

than updating the case with the link provided. The duplicates only occur if you also have checked to notify the assignees on update under the notifications tab.

SLIDE 13

Support Preferences Tips Notification tab

  • Check boxes for NOTIFY ASSIGNEES and NOTIFY ESCALTEES
  • Emails when a case has been assigned to them and updated. No worries, you

won’t receive a message when you update the case.

  • If not checked then support rep may NOT be notified when a customer updates

the case.

  • Check boxes for NOTIFY FILER ON SUPPORT REP CASES
  • Automatically send email notification to customers when cases are created

manually in your account by support reps or to notify to employees when they submit help desk cases.

  • Check box NOTIFY FILER ON EXTERNAL CASES if using customer

center

  • Automatically sends email notification to customers when cases are submitted

using the external case form in the Customer Center.

  • Note: This does not send notification to customers submitting cases using online

case forms. To send notification to these customers, you must select the online case form, go to the Set Up Workflow subtab and enter an email template in the Send Auto-Reply Email field.

SLIDE 14

Support Preferences Tips Notification tab cont’d

  • Uncheck boxes SEND NOTIFICATIONS REPLIES TO CUSTOMER for

Assignment, Update, and Escalation

  • Recommend to force support reps to reply to message ONLY from the NS

internal case form.

  • Note: when unchecked email reply from support rep will not be delivered to

customer, but shows as internal only in case.

If checked:

  • It overrides the checkbox RECEIVE CUSTOMER REPLIES IN CASE LIST ONLY and

allows the support rep to reply to the message directly from the case update notification or any reply from the customer.

  • Exposes support reps personal email address to the customer.
  • Can cause support rep to possibly receive duplicate emails from customer when

case is updated if NOTIFY ASSIGNEES has also been checked and customer replies directly from the email.

  • Invites message history propagation in messages on case which causes a very

cluttered online case form message tab.

Support Preferences Tips Inbound Email, and Ordering tabs

Inbound Email tab:

  • This is a remnant of prior release before 2014.1 when the only address to

use for email case capture was to use this NetSuite Address. You can ignore this and use the one(s) from the General tab in the case Profile(s). If no additional profiles will be created the using this one is fine.

Ordering tab

  • Reorder the drop down lists by clicking and dragging for case statuses,

priorities, types, origins, and issues. Using the List View does not allow for drag and drop.
