Do I need suitescripts to run workflows?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
No, you do not necessarily need SuiteScripts to run workflows in NetSuite. Workflows, also known as SuiteFlows, are a no-code solution that can be used to automate business processes within NetSuite. They can be used to perform a variety of tasks such as record manipulation, sending emails, and approval routing, among others. However, it's important to note that while workflows can handle many basic tasks, they may not be sufficient for more complex requirements. SuiteScripts, which is a JavaScript-based API, provides more flexibility and power for customizing NetSuite to your specific needs. For example, SuiteScripts can be used to create custom business logic that goes beyond the capabilities of workflows. They can also be used to write tests to ensure your logic will work in the future, or for proper change management. In some cases, a combination of workflows and SuiteScripts might be used, but this is generally discouraged as it can complicate debugging and maintenance. In conclusion, whether you need SuiteScripts or not depends on the complexity of your business requirements. For simple tasks, workflows might be sufficient. For more complex tasks, SuiteScripts might be necessary. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
