Saving Messages from Contacts
You can record any correspondence you've had with people you do business with. For example, if you get an email from a customer contact, you can store the message on their record. When you save messages to the contact record, others with access to your account can read them to better understand and help the customer.
If you use the Capture Email Replies feature, NetSuite automatically does the following for customer replies to email messages sent from NetSuite:
-
Sends them to the email address you log in with
-
Saves them on the contact and customer records
NetSuite also saves any extra messages in that email thread on the related records in your account. NetSuite adds a notice to any messages saved to your account so you know what’s being documented. For more information, see Sending Email from NetSuite
