The Salesforce Contact to NetSuite Contact Add/Update flow is a real-time flow that syncs Salesforce Contacts as NetSuite Contacts provided that the associated Account is already synced as a Customer to NetSuite. Once the Contact is synced, any subsequent updates in Salesforce are automatically synced to NetSuite.

Note : Standalone contacts that do not belong to any Salesforce account are not synced.

1. When a new contact is created in Salesforce, the flow checks whether the contact already exists in NetSuite, then whether the Salesforce contact is associated with a Salesforce account that has already been synched to NetSuite.
2. If the Salesforce contact doesn't exist but is associated with a synched Salesforce account, the flow creates a contact in NetSuite and synchs the NetSuite contact's NetSuite ID to the corresponding Salesforce contact. 
3. When a contact is updated in Salesforce, the flow updates the corresponding contact in NetSuite. To sync a Salesforce contact to a NetSuite Contact, the NetSuite ID field of the Salesforce contact cannot be empty.
4. If there are any errors while synching, they will display on the dashboard.

Sync existing Salesforce contacts to NetSuite

To sync existing contacts, you'll need to edit and save them manually. Make sure that the Salesforce contact is associated with a Salesforce account that has already been synched to NetSuite.
