Actionable Messaging is an advanced feature available in Celigo's CloudExtend Outlook for NetSuite Enterprise Edition* that allows supervisors to approve time or expense entries directly in Outlook.
How it works
An employee submits an expense or time entry in NetSuite. CloudExtend identifies this event and sends an Actionable Message to their supervisor's Outlook inbox.
The actionable message contains all the information the approver would need to quickly understand who submitted the entry, the total amount, and more. It also includes an Approve action, that can be taken right from Outlook that then sets the corresponding record in NetSuite to approved.
