“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 doesn’t support direct message queue integration, making external dashboard connectivity complex and prone to API rate limiting issues. Building custom message queuing systems requires significant infrastructure investment and technical expertise.
Here’s how to create live data feeds between NetSuite and external dashboards without the complexity of traditional message queue implementations.
Skip message queue infrastructure with automated data feeds
Coefficient eliminates the need for message queue infrastructure by providing direct NetSuite -to-spreadsheet connectivity that serves as an effective dashboard solution. Instead of building complex message queuing systems, you get automated refresh scheduling that maintains live data feeds without overwhelming NetSuite’s API limits.
The platform handles all queue management internally, automatically managing the 15 simultaneous RESTlet API calls (plus 10 per SuiteCloud Plus license) to prevent rate limiting. You also get built-in error handling and retry logic that traditional message queues require custom development to achieve.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect NetSuite to your spreadsheet.
Set up OAuth authentication through your NetSuite Admin. This one-time configuration provides secure, company-wide access with role-based permissions. The system automatically handles NetSuite’s 7-day token refresh requirements.
Step 2. Import your dashboard data.
Choose from Records & Lists, Saved Searches, Reports, or SuiteQL queries to pull the exact data your dashboard needs. Use the real-time preview to see the first 50 rows and drag-and-drop column reordering for custom dashboard layouts.
Step 3. Set up automated refresh scheduling.
Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refresh schedules to maintain continuous dashboard feeds. Add manual refresh buttons for immediate updates when critical changes occur. The system automatically filters using AND/OR logic on Date, Number, Text, and Boolean fields.
Step 4. Create multiple dashboard feeds.
Use import naming and organization features to create different dashboard views for various stakeholders. Each feed can have its own refresh schedule and filtering criteria, providing targeted data streams without additional infrastructure.
