NetSuite Professionals

Hi, I am new to Netsuite. I need to develop a mechanism in Netsuite that will call external webservice and send Customer &amp; Contacts data based on event or schedule a batch. Can you please give me a high level approach how to do this?

Look at Celigo or Boomi- might already have a connector you can use.

We need to develop our own code to handle this.

Use a scheduled script or map/reduce script to make the external API call combined with a saved search for your datasource.

Hi <@U97T0ER26>, I have created a sample client script, that will default a value on comment field when a new Customer record is created. It works when I directly import the script on Netsuite and attach it to Customer. But if I deploy as a project from Eclipse it fails, but it works for custom record types. Is Netsuite don't allow deployment for standard record types like customer, vendor address, etc.,,?

If you want your client script to fire for any record, you will need to create a script record and tell Netsuite which record it applies to.

Yes, I have script record and it works when I import manually. I need to deploy the script from Eclipse, there it fails.

I don’t use Eclipse so I can’t help you there.
