AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it seems that triggering a button on the user interface from a SuiteBundle in NetSuite can be achieved by using a combination of User Event Scripts, Client Scripts, and Suitelet Scripts. Here's a general approach: 1. User Event Script: This script is used to create the button on the user interface. It is triggered before the page load and can be used to add a button with a function call and any parameters needed. 2. Client Script: This script is used to execute the function when the button is clicked. If all your logic can be handled client-side, you can do the work in the client script. There's no need for an HTTPS call or a Suitelet in this case. However, if you need to get back to the server-side to do some server-specific stuff, you can use the
https
module to call your Suitelet URL with parameters as needed. 3. Suitelet Script: This script is used to execute and do the work you want to do. It is triggered when the client script makes an HTTPS call to the Suitelet URL. If you have common logic between the User Event and the button click, you can extract this logic into a custom module. Then, you can invoke this custom module from both the User Event and the button handler. For triggering a Suitelet script on the click of a button that is added from a workflow, you would have to do a workflow action script and redirect to the Suitelet. For triggering actions like 'generate pdf', you can use NetSuite's PDF generation functionality. You can port over an Advanced HTML template and just swap in proper variable references. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
