Install and use the integrator.io SuiteApp

Anitha Abraham
  • Updated

Currently available for NetSuite integrations, the integrator.io SuiteApp (Celigo Integrator.io on SuiteScript 2.0) is built on SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF). This technology upgrade offers several advantages over the NetSuite bundles that are coded for the popular but less robust SuiteScript v1.0.

The SuiteApp and SuiteScript 2.0 Advantage

When you configure a flow (to either export from NetSuite or import into NetSuite), the Celigo platform will prompt you to install the integrator.io SuiteApp. Customers who switch to the integrator.io SuiteApp (Celigo Integrator.io on SuiteScript 2.0) will have access to the following features:

  • Faster integrator.io SuiteApp upgrades
  • Native functionality that takes advantage of the new NetSuite SDF architecture
  • Support for newer NetSuite record types that might be supported only in SuiteScript 2.0
  • Unlimited dynamic lookups for NetSuite imports – that is, you won’t have to worry about exceeding SuiteScript point restrictions in common import operations 
  • Support for hooks in SuiteScript 2.0 (that is, if your export/import uses SuiteScript 2.0 APIs)
Note: For the NetSuite API version in the Advanced section of exports/imports:
  • The old options in existing NetSuite steps will be automatically mapped to the new options (see image below). The earlier SuiteScript 1.0 option will be mapped to SuiteBundle SuiteScript 1.0 now; and, the earlier SuiteScript 2.0 option to SuiteApp SuiteScript 2.x now. These new Netsuite API version options do not impact existing NetSuite DIY flows or Integration App flows.
  • Celigo plans to deprecate the SuiteBundle SuiteScript 1.0 option in the future. We will inform you in advance of migrating your SuiteScript 1.0 SuiteBundle to the latest version. We suggest that you move to SuiteApp SuiteScript 2.x because NetSuite is not making any updates to SuiteScript 1.0. This is not a mandatory requirement; it is a recommendation because of NetSuite changes. See also, the NetSuite recommendation to move to SuiteScript 2.0. (However, in your integrations, the SuiteScript version that you use in your export/import and hook must be the same. So you can choose SuiteApp SuiteScript 1.0 if required.)

Known differences in SuiteScript 2.0

SuiteScript 2.0 differences may have a slight effect on your current integration logic:

  • Checkboxes have the standard value of true or false (instead of the earlier "T" or "F")
  • SuiteScript hooks have a slightly different sequence

Install the SuiteApp

To install any SuiteApp, you must be signed in to NetSuite as an administrator. Then, you can choose either installation method, simply as a matter of convenience:

  1. Sign in to NetSuite.
  2. From the Customization menu, select SuiteCloud development > SuiteApp marketplace. 

  1. In the SuiteApp marketplace, search for Celigo integrator.io.
  2. Click the Celigo integrator.io on SuiteScript 2.0 tile.

suiteapp-ss2-tile

  1. Once on the Celigo integrator.io on SuiteScript 2.0 page, click Install.

When creating an export or import (see below) using SuiteScript 2.0, integrator.io will try to confirm whether Celigo Integrator on SuiteScript 2.0 SuiteApp is already installed in your NetSuite account. If it cannot be confirmed, you are presented with a hyperlink to suggest you install the SuiteApp.

Once logged in to NetSuite, you will be redirected to the page shown below. Click Install to proceed. 

Apply SuiteScript 2.0 to a NetSuite export

  1. Open a new export from NetSuite to modify its settings. 
  2. Expand the Advanced section. 
  3. For the NetSuite API version, select SuiteApp SuiteScript 2.x.
  4. Save the export, and verify that any SuiteScript hooks in your integration are written for the corresponding version (SuiteScript 1.0 and 2.0 are incompatible).

Tip: Depending on your flows’ requirements, you may apply different SuiteScript versions to each flow step and they will work correctly. For example, most of your imports may stay at the SuiteScript 1.0, while another import is set to SuiteScript 2.0. Or, an export using SuiteScript 2.0 may send records to an import using SuiteScript 1.0.

Apply SuiteScript 2.0 to a NetSuite listener (in a “real-time” flow)

  1. Rate this feature
    Included in the Sept. 2021 release     In Flow Builder, click Add source.
  2. Select NetSuite for the Application.
  3. Under What would you like to do? choose Listen for real-time data in source application.
  4. Select your NetSuite connection (or create one if you have not already done so).
  5. Click Next. The Create listener panel opens.
    1. Name the new listener, and specify the Record type, Execution context, and Execution type.
    2. If needed, provide any Sublists to include and Field-specific qualification criteria.
  6. Expand the Advanced section, and click SuiteApp SuiteScript 2.x.

If you have not yet installed the integrator.io Suite App (Celigo integrator.io on SuiteScript 2.0), a reminder with a link appears at the top of the panel:

Apply SuiteScript 2.0 to a NetSuite import

  1. Open a new import to NetSuite, and modify its settings. 
  2. Expand the Advanced section. 
  3. For the NetSuite API version, select SuiteApp SuiteScript 2.x.
  4. Save the import, and verify that any SuiteScript hooks in your integration are written for the corresponding version (SuiteScript 1.0 and 2.0 are incompatible).

Updates to integrator.io SuiteScript hooks

Your integration hooks will differ slightly after you upgrade to NetSuite Integrator 2.0.

integrator.io SuiteScript hooks (for NetSuite SuiteScript 2.0) can be written in SuiteScript 2.0 and can use completely native NetSuite modules.

Celigo Batch File Poller Celigo internal script to fetch files from FTP for integration build using the legacy integration (not IO)
Celigo Consumer Runner(IO) Celigo core script to process data for RealTime export and send them to the external system.
Celigo Integration Job Status Checker Celigo core script to ensure that a job doesn't get stuck due to any unexpected error by NetSuite or by Celigo(not IO).
Celigo Integrator Batch Manager Celigo core script that processes the batch flow build on the legacy framework V1(not IO).
Celigo Realtime Import Restlet Runner (IO) Celigo core script that communicates with Integrator for batch data flows. This restlet is used to create/update/transform records during an Page Processor Import. And also export records out of NetSuite.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

What does the error "Failed to create, update/transform record because Cannot find function getSelectOptions in object Field" mean?

If you are using a newer NetSuite import step that uses SuiteApp 2.0 and are getting this error, you need to Use dynamic mode to map the fields in the same order that you would enter that data into the NetSuite interface.
