Workflows can be created to interact with Customers, Contacts and Employees, and the workflow types that enable these interactions can include either Case, Opportunity, or Custom workflows.
Enable Customer Records for Workflows
So that all Customer, Contact, & Employee records are compatible with workflows, first you'll need to make sure that all records have the workflow checkbox enabled:
1. Open the customer record
2. Click Edit next to each contact name
3. Select Custom from the Menu in the contact window
4. Check the "Send Workflow SMS" box
Create Workflow API Credentials
Next, create separate API credentials in the MessageMedia Hub. Do this by logging into your MessageMedia account, going to Configuration in the left-hand menu, and then selecting
API settings, followed by Create new key:
Name your API key and click Create Key
You will then be presented with the details of your new API key and the API secret. Click Copy to clipboard and save these details in a safe place (e.g. your desktop notepad):
To attach your workflow API credentials in Netsuite, take the following steps:
1. In the Netsuite interface, click MessageMedia in the toolbar at the top of your screen in NetSuite, then go to Preferences and API Credentials
2. Click New
3. For "Credential Type" choose Workflow
4. Put your Rest key and Secret in the username and password fields
5. Click Save
After setting up your credentials, you can create a new workflow with SMS, or configure a pre-created workflow that we've provided to you upon installation. To learn more about this process, read this article.
