Setup

Netsuite requires some configuration in order to use the Token-Based authentication for integration purposes. Following these steps will generate all of the necessary information required to authenticate with the Netsuite Token Auth connector.

  1. Create Integration Record
    • Visit the integrations page or global search for page:integrations.
    • Create an integration record if none exists. After you create the record, you will need to copy/paste the consumer key and consumer secret.
  2. Enable Token Based Authentication
    • Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
    • Click the SuiteCloud subtab.
    • Scroll down to the SuiteScript section, and check the following boxes:
      • Client SuiteScript.
      • Server SuiteScript. Click “I Agree” on the SuiteCloud Terms of Service page.
    • Scroll down to the Manage Authentication section, and check the Token-based Authentication box. Click “I Agree” on the SuiteCloud Terms of Service page
    • Click Save.
  3. Create Token Role
    • Navigate to “New Role” - Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles > New (or search for page:role, then choose “New Role”).
    • Navigate to Permissions > Setup and add the following permissions:
      • User Access Token: Full
      • Access Token Management: Full
      • Web Services: Full
      • Log in Using Access Tokens: Full
      • User Access Tokens: Full
      • Enable Features: Full
    • Note: You will likely need to add additional permissions here to enable additional capabilities. For example, Lists: Accounts, Transactions: Opportunity, etc. These permissions allow you to create / read / update / delete specific record types. If you do not have the necessary permissions for a desired action, Netsuite will return an error indicating which permissions are required for the operation.
  4. Add Token Management Permissions
    • Navigate to the list of employees: List > Employees > Employees (or search for page:employees).
    • Edit your employee record.
    • Navigate to Access > Roles and add the token auth role you just created.
  5. Create Access Token
    • Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Access Tokens (or search for page: tokens).
    • Click new Access Token.
    • Select the application and role we created in step 3, then press save.
    • Save your new Access Token and Secret.

Additional documentation:

NOTE: The Netsuite connector makes use of the internal IDs of Netsuite records. While we return the internal ID of records when you use the cards in our connector, you may sometimes want to find these IDs within the Netsuite UI. To make these easier to find, there is a user setting that you can enable by checking the box found in Home -> Set Preferences -> Show Internal IDs.

    • Build List Field

      Building a list item aids in the entry of information into other cards. This card has many different possible outputs, but it enables you to build any of a wide variety of new records, and successfully pass that information onto other cards. The process of that is detailed below.

      Options

      • Record Type (dropdown)
        • Dynamic list of record types available in your Netsuite instance. Click here for an exhaustive list of record types.
      • Field (dropdown)
        • Dynamic list of the fields available to edit on the selected record.

      Input Fields

      • These fields are dependent on the type of record and field you are trying to update. They will all however have an internal ID related to the field you have chosen. Learn more about how to find the internal ID of a field here.

      Output Fields

      There is only one type of output for this card, the list item you have created. This list item is actually an object, and you can access any of the information entered as an input by entering the name of that field as a key in the enter key name here field. These keys can then be dragged to other cards.

      • Item (object)
        • Enter key name here (text) To access any of the information entered in this card, type the name of the input above into this text box and press enter. Now the value that you entered in the input field above is available to use in your Flow.

      • Operator (Dropdown List): Choose what operator you want to use to search for the field. This will vary based on the type of field that is chosen (e.g. string fields will have different operators than number fields or date fields).

      • Return (Dropdown List): Choose whether you want all matching records returned or just the first matching record. If you don’t need all matching records, choosing “One record” will speed up the processing time of the Search Records card.

      Input Fields

      The inputs for this card will change depending on what field and operator are chosen. You will either see an input called Keyword (and sometimes a second input called Keyword 2, if two values are required), or an array input called Internal IDs.

      If the input is Keyword, enter the value that you would like to search for, keeping in mind what operator you have chosen (e.g. “is” vs. “isNot”).

      If the input is Internal IDs array, that means that Netsuite is looking for the unique identifier used for whatever field you are searching for. This ID will be a number.

      • To find this internal ID, you may need to open the Netsuite UI and find the type of record you are searching for as an example. To have more visibility of internal IDs, make sure to navigate to Home -> Set Preferences -> General and check Show Internal IDs. Alternatively, you may want to try using Read Record in Azuqua on the type of record you are searching for in order to find the internal ID. Please note that many fields in Netsuite have internal IDs, so make sure that the ID you are inputting is a valid value for that field.

      Output Fields

      An array of results matching your search parameters.
