“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.”
Custom field synchronization between NetSuite and CRM opportunity records breaks traditional integration workflows. Custom field data types, picklist values, and field dependencies rarely translate cleanly between systems, causing sync failures and data loss.
Here’s how to handle custom field synchronization without the mapping conflicts that plague traditional CRM connectors.
Sync custom fields without mapping conflicts using Coefficient
Coefficient excels at custom field synchronization by providing direct access to NetSuite’s custom field structure without field mapping conflicts. You get comprehensive custom field access including custom fields on transaction records, customer records, and custom record types that typically map to CRM opportunities.
This eliminates the schema conflicts that frequently break traditional NetSuite CRM integration while providing flexible data transformation for any CRM platform.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import all custom fields using Records & Lists.
The Records & Lists import method supports all NetSuite custom fields (with limited exceptions for certain field types). This includes custom fields on opportunity records, customer records, and any custom record types your organization uses for sales tracking.
Step 2. Transform custom fields with SuiteQL queries.
Create custom field mappings that transform NetSuite data into CRM-compatible formats. For example: SELECT opportunity.tranid, opportunity.entity, opportunity.custbody_custom_field_1 as crm_opportunity_stage, opportunity.custbody_custom_field_2 as crm_deal_size FROM transaction opportunity WHERE opportunity.type = ‘Opportunity’. This maps NetSuite custom fields to CRM opportunity structures.
Step 3. Validate custom field data before synchronization.
Use the data preview feature to validate custom field data before sharing with your CRM team. This prevents the field mapping conflicts that cause sync failures in bidirectional workflows by catching data type mismatches and missing values early.
Step 4. Monitor custom field changes with automated refreshes.
Schedule automated refreshes to monitor custom field changes in NetSuite, providing CRM teams with current opportunity data. This eliminates the need for NetSuite workflow triggers that often break CRM integration sync loops.
Keep custom fields in sync without the complexity
Custom field synchronization doesn’t have to break your integration workflows. Direct field access eliminates mapping conflicts while flexible transformation adapts to any CRM platform. Start syncing your custom fields reliably today.
