“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
While Coefficient doesn’t have built-in email notifications for failed exports, you can set up effective monitoring for automated NetSuite to Excel exports in SharePoint environments. The best approach combines SharePoint monitoring with Power Automate flows to track file updates.
Here are several strategies to detect when your automated exports fail and get notified quickly for resolution.
Monitor NetSuite export failures in SharePoint using alternative methods
Coefficient logs failed refreshes within Excel workbooks and shows immediate error messages for manual refresh attempts. You can build monitoring around NetSuite file update patterns and authentication schedules to catch failures early.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up SharePoint-based monitoring with Power Automate.
Create Power Automate flows that monitor file modification timestamps in SharePoint. Set up alerts when files haven’t been updated within expected timeframes, and include manual refresh instructions in the notification emails.
Step 2. Build Excel-based status tracking dashboards.
Create a “Status Dashboard” worksheet that includes last refresh timestamp formulas, data validation checks, and conditional formatting for stale data alerts. This provides visual indicators when data hasn’t refreshed as expected.
Step 3. Implement proactive authentication management.
Set calendar reminders for the 7-day re-authentication requirement, designate a team member responsible for token refresh, and document the authentication schedule to prevent expiry-related failures.
Step 4. Monitor common failure points systematically.
Watch for API rate limit issues by staggering refresh schedules, track authentication expiry with weekly re-authentication processes, audit NetSuite permission changes regularly, and monitor row counts approaching the 100K limit.
Step 5. Create hybrid monitoring with Power BI integration.
If using Power BI, build data freshness metrics into your reports, use Power BI’s built-in refresh failure notifications, and monitor data update timestamps directly in your dashboards for immediate visibility.
Build reliable monitoring for your automated NetSuite exports
Combining Coefficient’s reliable refresh engine with SharePoint and Power Automate monitoring creates robust error detection for your automated NetSuite exports. Proactive monitoring prevents data gaps and keeps your reporting current. Start building your monitored NetSuite automation workflow today.
