SuiteScript Email Notification

Sending Email Notifications

SuiteScript email notification uses N/email for alerts.

Understanding SuiteScript Email Notification

SuiteScript's email notifications are implemented using the N/email module, which provides functionality for sending emails from within your SuiteScript code. This can be particularly useful for automating alerts or sending updates triggered by specific events within NetSuite.

Setting Up Email Notifications

To send an email using SuiteScript, you need to configure the email parameters including the recipient(s), sender, subject, and body of the email. The N/email module provides methods such as send and sendBulk for this purpose.

Using the Email Module for Bulk Emails

For scenarios where you need to send emails to multiple recipients or a large audience, you can utilize the sendBulk method. This is efficient as it handles multiple emails in a single operation, reducing the load on your scripts.

Handling Errors and Debugging

When working with email notifications, it is essential to handle potential errors that may occur during the sending process. SuiteScript provides logging capabilities that can help you debug and resolve any issues. Ensure that you check for errors and utilize try-catch blocks where appropriate.

Best Practices for Email Notifications

  • Use System Notification: Utilize the default system sender (-5) to ensure emails are sent reliably.
  • Test Thoroughly: Always test your email functionality in a sandbox environment before deploying to production.
  • Monitor Delivery: Regularly check logs to monitor the delivery status and troubleshoot any issues promptly.
  • Respect Privacy: Ensure compliance with privacy laws and regulations when sending emails.
