“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.”
NetSuite SuiteFlow workflows cannot directly send reports to file server paths. SuiteFlow is designed for internal NetSuite record management and lacks native file system integration capabilities.
Here’s a more practical solution that delivers live NetSuite data to file servers without SuiteFlow complexity.
Create live NetSuite data connections in network-accessible spreadsheets using Coefficient
Coefficient eliminates the need for SuiteFlow automation by creating live NetSuite data connections in spreadsheets that can be stored on network-accessible file servers. Stakeholders get always-current data without workflow complexity.
How to make it work
Step 1. Complete your NetSuite OAuth setup.
Your NetSuite Admin handles the one-time configuration, eliminating the need for custom SuiteScript development, external web service integration, and file server API management.
Step 2. Import your NetSuite data using the appropriate method.
Access NetSuite data through Records & Lists imports, standard Reports, Saved Searches, or SuiteQL queries. Each method populates spreadsheets stored on file servers with live NetSuite data that refreshes automatically.
Step 3. Configure automated refresh scheduling.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refresh schedules to ensure file server-stored spreadsheets contain current NetSuite data without requiring SuiteFlow triggers. The data updates automatically based on your configured schedule.
Step 4. Store your spreadsheet on network-accessible file servers.
Save your live-connected spreadsheet to any network file server where stakeholders can access current NetSuite data. Standard file sharing handles the delivery mechanism while Coefficient manages the data connectivity.
Skip workflow development for reliable data delivery
This approach provides more reliable data delivery than custom SuiteFlow solutions while eliminating workflow dependencies, network connectivity issues, and ongoing maintenance requirements. Start creating your live NetSuite connections today.
