4. Click Install

Configuration

Prerequisites

Before using this node, you need to set up OAuth 1.0a authentication in NetSuite:

1. Create an Integration Record:

   • Navigate to Setup > Integration > Manage Integrations > New
   • Check "Token-Based Authentication"
   • Save and note down the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret

2. Create an Access Token:

   • Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Access Tokens > New
   • Select your Integration, User, and Role
   • Save and note down the Token ID and Token Secret

Credentials

When setting up the NetSuite OAuth1 API credentials in n8n, you'll need:

• Account ID: Your NetSuite account ID
• Company URL: Your NetSuite SuiteTalk API URL (e.g., 1234567.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com)
• RESTlet Company URL (optional): Your NetSuite RESTlet API URL (e.g., 1234567.restlets.api.netsuite.com). Leave empty to use the Company URL above.
• Consumer Key: From your Integration record
• Consumer Secret: From your Integration record
• Token Key: Token ID from your Access Token
• Token Secret: Token Secret from your Access Token

Operations

SuiteQL

Execute SQL-like queries against your NetSuite data with automatic pagination support.

Parameters

• Query: The SuiteQL query to execute
• Return All Pages: Toggle to automatically fetch all pages of results
  • When enabled: Automatically follows pagination links until all data is retrieved
  • When disabled: Returns only the specified number of results
• Limit: Maximum number of results per page (1-1000, only visible when "Return All Pages" is disabled)

Pagination

When "Return All Pages" is enabled, the node will:

• Execute your query and retrieve the first page of results
• Automatically detect if more data is available (via hasMore field)
• Follow the next link in the response to fetch subsequent pages
• Combine all items from all pages into a single result
• Return the complete dataset with proper OAuth authentication for each request

This eliminates the need to manually handle pagination when working with large datasets.

Example Query:

SELECT id, companyName, email FROM customer WHERE subsidiary = '1' LIMIT 10

Example Query with Pagination:

SELECT
    Item.id,
    Item.itemId as sku,
    SUM(InventoryBalance.quantityAvailable) as total_quantity
FROM
    Item
LEFT JOIN
    InventoryBalance ON InventoryBalance.item = Item.id
WHERE
    BUILTIN.DF(Item.itemType) IN ('Assembly/Bill of Materials','Inventory Item')
    AND Item.isinactive = 'F'
GROUP BY
    Item.id, Item.itemId
ORDER BY
    Item.id ASC

With "Return All Pages" enabled, this query will automatically fetch all inventory items across multiple pages.

RESTlet Operations

Call custom NetSuite RESTlet scripts with automatic pagination support and file upload capabilities.

Call RESTlet

Execute a custom RESTlet script with optional automatic pagination.

Parameters

• Script ID: The Script ID of your RESTlet (e.g., customscript_my_restlet)
• Deploy ID: The Deploy ID of your RESTlet (e.g., customdeploy_my_restlet)
• Body: JSON body to send to the RESTlet
• Return All: Toggle to automatically paginate through all results
  • When enabled: Additional pagination options appear
• Page Size: Number of records to fetch per page (default: 1000)
• Start Index Field: Field name in the request body for the start index (default: start)
• End Index Field: Field name in the request body for the end index (default: end)
• Results Field: Field name in the response containing the results array (default: results)

Pagination

When "Return All" is enabled, the node will:

• Automatically increment the start/end index fields in your request body
• Make multiple requests to fetch all pages of data
• Stop when it receives fewer results than the page size (indicating the last page)
• Combine all results into a single response with a total count

Example Body (without pagination):

{
  "id": "19405",
  "type": "savesearchdata",
  "start": 0,
  "end": 1000
}

Example with Pagination Enabled:

• Set "Return All" to true
• Set "Page Size" to 1000
• Set "Start Index Field" to start
• Set "End Index Field" to end
• Set "Results Field" to results
• The node will automatically update start and end values in each request

The response will contain:

{
  "results": [...all items from all pages...],
  "total": 5432
}

Upload File

Upload PDF, Excel, or CSV files to NetSuite via a RESTlet endpoint. The node automatically converts the file to base64 and determines the file type from the extension.

Parameters:

• RESTlet Script ID: The numeric Script ID of your upload RESTlet (e.g., 123)
• RESTlet Deployment ID: The numeric Deployment ID (e.g., 1)
• Folder ID: The internal ID of the destination folder in NetSuite
• File Name: The name for the uploaded file (defaults to {{ $binary.data.fileName }})

Supported File Types:

• PDF files (.pdf) - Automatically detected as PDF type
• Excel files (.xlsx, .xls) - Automatically detected as EXCEL type
• CSV files (.csv) - Automatically detected as CSV type

Request Body Sent:

{
  "postType": "uploadFile",
  "folderId": "12345",
  "name": "document.pdf",
  "base64Content": "JVBERi0xLjQKJeLjz9MKMyAwIG9iai...",
  "fileType": "PDF"
}

Prerequisites:

• Your RESTlet must accept file upload requests with the structure above
• The RESTlet should create a file record in NetSuite using the base64 content
• Input data must contain binary data (use Read/Download Binary File node before this)

Example Workflow:

1. Use "HTTP Request" or "Read Binary File" node to get a file
2. Connect to the NetSuite node
3. Select Resource: RESTlet
4. Select Operation: Upload File
5. Configure the RESTlet IDs and folder ID
6. The file will be uploaded automatically

Record Operations

Create

Create a new record in NetSuite. Returns the newly created record's ID and location.

Duplicate Detection (optional): Enable to check for existing duplicates before creating a record. When enabled, the node runs a SuiteQL query to look up matching field values. If a duplicate is found, the creation is skipped and a marker is output instead.

• Duplicate Detection: Toggle on/off (default: off)
• SuiteQL Table Name: The SuiteQL table to query (e.g., transaction for salesOrder, entity for customer). Note: SuiteQL table names differ from REST API record types.
• Duplicate Check Fields: One or more field mappings (combined with AND logic):
  • NetSuite Field: The internal field name to check (e.g., otherrefnum)
  • Match Value: The value to match against (supports expressions, e.g., ={{ $json.poNumber }})

When a duplicate is found, the node outputs:

{
  "skipped": true,
  "reason": "duplicate",
  "duplicateId": "12345",
  "recordType": "salesOrder",
  "matchedFields": { "otherrefnum": "PO-1234", "entity": "42" }
}

Example Body:

{
  "entity": "12345",
  "trandate": "2024-12-04",
  "item": {
    "items": [
      {
        "item": "123",
        "quantity": 1,
        "rate": 100
      }
    ]
  }
}

Response:

{
  "id": "54321",
  "location": "/services/rest/record/v1/salesOrder/54321"
}

The node automatically extracts the record ID from the Location header returned by NetSuite.

Get

Retrieve a record by its internal ID.

Update (PUT)

Replace an entire record with new data.

Update (PATCH)

Update specific fields of a record without replacing the entire record.

Post Action

Transform

Transform one record type into another (e.g., Sales Order to Invoice).

Parameters:

• Record Type: The source record type (e.g., salesOrder)
• Target Record Type: The destination record type (e.g., invoice)
• Record ID: The ID of the source record
• Body: Optional JSON to override fields in the transformed record

Delete

Delete a record by internal ID.

Parameter	Description
Record Type	The record type (e.g., salesOrder, customer)
Record ID	The internal ID of the record to delete

Output:

{
  "deleted": true,
  "recordType": "salesOrder",
  "recordId": "12345"
}
