Hi there, I am working on writing an email capture script and looking to take the attachment (csv) that's on the email and need to attach the csv file to a record in Netsuite. Does anyone know how to do that?

You would need to get the file off the case or wherever it's coming in, and prob use record.attach() to associate the file with the new record record.attach

Assuming you mean you are building an implementation of the Email Capture Plugin, then the

Email

instance which gets passed into your entry point has a

getAttachments()

method which returns an Array of

Attachment

instances, each of which has a

getValue()

method to return the file contents

Awww okay! So I would make it into a loop of sorts for the attachments to grab the values?

I'd probably write something like:

email.getAttachments().map(function (attachment) {
  return nlapiSubmitFile(
    nlapiCreateFile(attachment.getName(), attachment.getType(), attachment.getValue())
  );
}).forEach(function (fileId) {
  nlapiAttachRecord("file", fileId, recordType, recordId); 
});

You should be able to also just grab the file without having to read the content and create a file...

Is an

Attachment

also a valid

File

?

yep...

Interesting

Now there is a bug where certain kind of attachments NetSuite miss identify them... but if you are sure your attachments would be CSV you can do something line this:

oh woww thank you both so much, this helped out wonderfully!!
