NetSuite Create Snap creates an employee record using the Employee object:

After the pipeline executes, it creates a new employee record. The following is the data preview of the NetSuite Create Snap that shows the newly added employee record details:

Creating and Updating Customer Records in NetSuite Using Custom Objects

NetSuite enables you to create custom objects, and you can use the NetSuite Create Snap to update these records. This example demonstrates how you can do so.

titleUnderstanding the pipeline

We design the pipeline as shown above.

Mapper

The Mapper Snap retrieves the NetSuite object's schema from the NetSuite Create Snap and maps the data to be uploaded to the appropriate custom fields in the target schema.

The Mapper offers the following output:

As you can see, the Mapper has mapped custom fields in the NetSuite object schema to values that we listed in the Expression field in the Mapper Snap Settings screen, above. We now need to update a NetSuite record using these custom values.

NetSuite Create

We configure the NetSuite Create Snap as shown below. We select Job as the object that we want to update. This is the schema from which the Mapper Snap picks the custom fields that must be updated.

The NetSuite Create Snap now updates the concerned record based on the object that we selected in the NetSuite Create Settings screen above, and lists out the internal ID of the updated record.

Mapper 1

We can now check whether the record was updated. To do so, we extract the internal ID of the record that was updated from the output of the NetSuite Create Snap using a Mapper Snap:

The Mapper Snap captures the internal ID of the concerned record and makes it available to the NetSuite Get Snap.

NetSuite Get

We now use the internal ID received from the Mapper Snap to check whether the record concerned is actually updated.

We review the output of the NetSuite Get Snap and check whether the new data reflects the latest updates, and find that it does.
