Published in Project Management on 08/08/2025, last updated 15/01/2026.

In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know to set up an integration that syncs NetSuite records with Smartsheet rows through an automated 2-way flow from Unito. Since Unito is a completely customizable platform with a no-code interface, you can set up this integration without any support from your technical teams. No need to troubleshoot complex automations or rely on expensive consultants, either.

Overview

• Tools: NetSuite and Smartsheet
• Use cases: Task management, project reporting, account management
• Great for: Project managers, RevOps, finance, data analysts, consultants, stakeholders and executives

Unito’s two-way sync integration for NetSuite and Smartsheet allows users of any technical background, from product managers to software developers and team leads, to sync NetSuite records with Smartsheet rows and sheets. This integration syncs updates back and forth between both tools, creates new work items, and can even automate repetitive actions. This in-depth guide shows you how that’s done.

By the end of this guide, your NetSuite-Smartsheet integration will:

• Create new NetSuite records based on Smartsheet rows.
• Create new Smartsheet rows synced with NetSuite records.
• Update fields in real-time with a two-way sync when you work in either tool.

Before you start

If you’re connecting NetSuite to Unito for the first time, you need to have a NetSuite admin account. You’ll also need the following information:

• NetSuite Application ID
• OAuth Client ID
• OAuth Client Secret

Not sure where to get this? We have a full guide to it here.

Step 1: Connect NetSuite and Smartsheet

• Make sure you’re signed up for Unito.
• Click +Create Flow.
• Click +Start Here to connect NetSuite and Smartsheet.
• Click +Choose account for each tool and complete the authorization process.
• Click Confirm.

Step 2: Choose flow direction for records and tasks

With flow direction, you decide whether Unito automatically creates work items to match those you create manually. You have three options:

• 2-way: Both NetSuite records and Smartsheet rows are automatically created by your Unito flow to match items you create manually in each tool.
• 1-way from NetSuite to Smartsheet: Smartsheet rows will be automatically created by Unito to match NetSuite records you create manually. Unito won’t create new NetSuite records.
• 1-way from Smartsheet to NetSuite: NetSuite records will be automatically created by Unito to match Smartsheet rows you create manually. Unito won’t create new Smartsheet rows.

Step 3: Build rules to sync specific work items

Unito rules can do two things:

1. Filter out work items you don’t want synced. For example, you could create a rule that only syncs NetSuite records opened after a certain date.
2. Automate certain actions. For example, you could create a rule that automatically assigns new Smartsheet rows to a certain person on your team.

To start building your rule, click Add new rule, then choose a trigger and action.

Step 4: Map fields between NetSuite and Smartsheet

When you map fields, you pair fields in NetSuite with fields in Smartsheet so data goes exactly where it needs to. Unito can usually map most fields automatically, whether they’re exactly the same (Owner →Owner) or just compatible (URL→Text). You can also choose to map fields manually to fully customize your flow.

Here’s what you’ll see when Unito maps your fields automatically.

You can add a field mapping by clicking +Add mapping, then Select a field. When you choose the field you want to map in one tool, Unito automatically recommends compatible fields in a dropdown under the other tool.

Some fields have a cog icon. They can be customized once they’re mapped. For example, a Status field can be customized so its options match those in another field.

Step 5: Launch your NetSuite-Smartsheet integration

That’s it! You’re ready to launch your flow. Unito will automatically keep NetSuite records and Smartsheet rows in sync. This will allow your teams to collaborate more effectively without copying and pasting data or constantly switching tools.

FAQ: NetSuite-Smartsheet integration

Why should I integrate NetSuite with Smartsheet?

Syncing Smartsheet rows with NetSuite records allows your teams to work more effectively together without constantly switching back and forth between tools. This allows:

• Project managers who plan tasks and essential projects in Smartsheet to share essential updates with teams in NetSuite so they always have full context.
• Teams working in NetSuite can sync updates to Smartsheet so stakeholders have up-to-date reports in the platform they use regularly.
• Improving collaboration between oversight teams in NetSuite and other teams in Smartsheet.

How do I add a Smartsheet row to NetSuite?

While you can manually transfer data from Smartsheet rows to NetSuite records, the best way to do this is Unito’s integration. With a single flow you can turn rows from a single Smartsheet sheet into NetSuite records automatically and sync any updates between both tools.

How much does a NetSuite-Smartsheet integration cost?

The cost of a Smartsheet-NetSuite integration depends on the method you use. Unito’s plans, for example, start at $49 a month, scaling up to custom enterprise plans. Other integrations, like Workato, can cost thousands of dollars a year or more.

Why should I use Unito’s Smartsheet-NetSuite integration?

Unito has the deepest two-way integrations on the market, but they only take a few clicks to set up.

When you connect your Smartsheet rows with NetSuite, NetSuite records can become Smartsheet rows and vice versa. That means everything from comments to due dates and assignees can get synced across with no extra work. No more copying and pasting, no more data entry, and no more missed updates. You get the feeling of everyone working in a single tool without having to designate a middleman or force anyone into a tool they don’t like.
