How to Integrate Listrak Transactional Email Rules in NetSuite

Problem Statement

The customer requirement is to integrate NetSuite with Listrak, a third-party API, for streamlined bulk email automation and the development of transaction-specific email templates given by the customer. The majority of the transaction templates were of standard design, and they had not previously used the bulk emailing feature for their business. 

As per the requirements from the client, they have to send a total of 17 email notifications to their customers. Also, they have to style each template in NetSuite. That is very time-consuming. But Listrak has 17-email notification message format. By integrating Listrak with NetSuite, we can automate the 17 email notifications, so there is no need to send the emails manually. Also, we can reduce the script development time, and the Listrak template has a much more attractive design. The client wanted to automate the following email transactions: 

Order confirmation notifications (upon approval of a sales order, Listrak automatically sends an email notification to customers using the Listrak email templates). 

• Drop Ship Confirmation Notification 

• Autoship enrollment notification

• AutoShip order notification

• AutoShip Cancellation Notice

• Notification of Site Password Reset   

• Rx Authorization: Received notification

• Notification of Rx No File

• Notification of Prescription Reminder

• Cancellation Notice

• Notification of Received Return 

• Notification of Processed Return

• Backorder Notification: 60– Day Notification

• Backorder Notification 

• Site Terms and Sales Agreement notification

• Site Customer Service Request Notification

• Notification of the Site Cart List

There are some limitations to sending bulk emails. If the bulk merge email volume is low, there will be difficulty in sending promotional emails. Also, their domain keys were not configured because this feature had not been used previously. This was a challenging factor for our experts. 

Our developers had already worked on their projects, and the client knew that we had the best integration specialists in our team, so they approached Jobin & Jismi to integrate  Listrak with NetSuite. 

What we suggested

Jobin & Jismi’s experts examined the requirement. Our consultants fully comprehended their customers’ business processes with the collaboration of their management. 

Listrak itself has email sending functionality and many email template formats. In our case, we are unable to send emails without NetSuite because, as per the requirement, “upon approval of a sales order in NetSuite,” customers should get an email notification. i.e., email sending is based on a record that is approved inside “NetSuite.” So, we have to integrate NetSuite with Listrak.

For the email notification, we have to add multiple line-item records. Like fields in NetSuite Listrak, also have field identifiers. Using the script, we map each NetSuite field to a Listrak field. But there are no standard field IDs for line items in Listrak. So, mapping the multiple lines was a bit of a challenge for our developers. 

In order to mitigate the risk, our NetSuite team created custom field IDs for multiple line items and mapped NetSuite items with Listrak.  

All 17 email notifications are now fully automated. There is a great need for the client’s effort in order to send the email. Furthermore, all emails are visually appealing and include all necessary information, including links to websites. 

Our NetSuite team developed and implemented a custom script for passing NetSuite transactional data to Listrak using the Listrak REST API. 

The NetSuite transactional service handles triggering the email. Listrak REST API utilizes Bearer tokens to authenticate NetSuite transactional requests and provides the dynamic data that populates the placeholders in the email template.
