Summary

Update an existing NetSuite record by specifying its type, internal ID, and JSON-formatted fields to modify.

Inputs

  • Record Type (required) — Select the type of record to update from a loadable list or enter a custom ID.
  • Record ID (required) — Provide the internal ID of the record to update.
  • Fields (required) — A JSON object defining the fields and their new values to set on the record.

Output shape

a single updated record object returned as JSON.

The operation sends a PATCH request to update only the specified fields on the identified record. It requires valid JSON in the Fields parameter; invalid JSON will cause an error. Errors related to authentication, permissions, or invalid data are surfaced appropriately. The output includes the updated record details as returned by NetSuite's API.

Examples

Example 1: Update a customer's email and company name by record ID

Set Record Type to 'customer', fill in the Record ID of the customer, and provide the Fields JSON with the new email and companyname values.
