“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Coefficient provides a streamlined NetSuite Chart of Accounts API connection to Excel through its RESTlet-based integration, eliminating the complexity of direct API programming while maintaining full API functionality.
This approach provides all benefits of API connectivity without requiring technical API development skills, using secure OAuth 2.0 authentication and automatic error handling.
Connect via API without coding complexity
Coefficient uses NetSuite’s REST Web Services with a visual interface that replaces API programming, while still providing direct access to all NetSuite record types through secure API connections.
How to make it work
Step 1. Complete the one-time API configuration.
Your NetSuite Admin deploys Coefficient’s RESTlet script, configures OAuth 2.0 application, and sets role permissions for API access. This establishes the secure API foundation with automatic token management.
Step 2. Establish your Excel API connection.
Install the Coefficient add-in and authenticate with your NetSuite credentials. The system handles all API calls, error retry logic, and rate limiting within NetSuite’s limits (15 base + 10 per SuiteCloud Plus).
Step 3. Access COA data through the API.
Use the visual interface to access all standard and custom COA fields with real-time data through direct API calls. The system preserves parent-child account hierarchies and handles bulk operations efficiently for large COAs.
Step 4. Leverage advanced API capabilities.
Access SuiteQL for custom queries and complex COA analysis, handle multi-subsidiary API calls for subsidiary-specific COAs, and connect to custom records for custom account classifications with incremental updates.
Get full API power with zero coding
This RESTlet-based approach manages API calls within NetSuite limits and provides data transformation that formats API responses for Excel compatibility. Experience the power of API connectivity without the complexity.
