NetSuite REST Upsert

Overview

You can use this Snap to create and update records using an External ID. The Snap updates records if the external ID exists; otherwise, it creates a new record.


NetSuite REST Upsert Overview

Prerequisites

None.

Limitations

  • The Snap takes 70-100 seconds to fetch Record type suggestions for the first call. Subsequent calls are faster as it fetches data from the cache, which refreshes every 60 minutes. Any updates to the metadata might take up to 60 minutes to reflect the data.

Snap views

View Description Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps
Input This Snap has at the most one document input view and requires the External ID of the record that you need to create and/or update.
Output This Snap has at most one document output view. The output document contains the created and/or updated data.
Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.
  • Discard Error Data and Continue Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
  • Route Error Data to Error View Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.
