NetSuite Restriction
The authorization token that you get from NetSuite expires in seven days. When the NetSuite token expires, you get an invalid_grant error when the integration is run.

Next

You use the credentials that you added to create and customize your NetSuite integrations with Oomnitza.

Best practice
To ensure that only live user records are streamed from NetSuite to Oomnitza, choose Update only as your integration preference. When you run the integration, you can check the error logs to see which user records weren't uploaded and why they weren't uploaded. You can then decide whether to upload the user records that were skipped by changing your integration preference to create and upload. See Access error logs.

1. Enter a descriptive name for the integration such as NetSuite Users. That'll be the name of the user integration that is shown on the Integrations page.
2. From the User Selection list, select User plus SaaS User.
3. From the installation type list, select Cloud.
4. From the Credentials list, select the credentials for NetSuite .
5. From the Integration Preferences list, select Update only.   
6. Enter the name of the user of the integration.
7. Enter your subdomain.
8. Click Next.
