Use Case: When I change the name on the Salesforce Account I also want that to change the company name on the Breadwinner Company record and on the customer record in NetSuite
This can be done by creating a trigger to update the Customer record in NetSuite any time the Account Name changes on the Salesforce Account
Account with NetSuite Companies (Customers / Vendors)
﻿
The below code was created using our Apex Generator and then modified slightly to fit our use case.
Create an apex class to fill in the JSON request needed to update the NetSuite Customer record.
Apex Class
// Start Future Method Class called from Trigger 'BW_AccountTrigger'

    @future (callout=true)

                mapOfAccountIdVsNetSuiteCustomerInternalId.put(accountVar.breadwinner_ns__Salesforce_Account__c, accountVar.breadwinner_ns__InternalId__c);

Next: create a trigger to run the above method only if the account name has changed.
Updated Trigger
// Start Trigger
// trigger executed after Account record is Update...
trigger BW_AccountTrigger on Account (after Update) {
    if(!System.isFuture() && !System.isBatch() && Trigger.isUpdate && Trigger.isAfter){
        List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();
        for(Account accountVar : trigger.new){
            // compare the new account name to the old one 
            // and add that to the account list only if something has changed.
            if(accountVar.Name != trigger.oldMap.get(accountVar.Id).Name){
                accountList.add(accountVar);
            }
        }
        if(!accountList.isEmpty()){
            WriteNetSuiteCustomerFuture.updateNetSuiteCustomer(JSON.serialize(accountList));
        }
    }
}
// End Trigger
// Start Trigger
// trigger executed after Account record is Update...
trigger BW_AccountTrigger on Account (after Update) {
    if(!System.isFuture() && !System.isBatch() && Trigger.isUpdate && Trigger.isAfter){
        List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();
        for(Account accountVar : trigger.new){
            // compare the new account name to the old one 
            // and add that to the account list only if something has changed.
            if(accountVar.Name != trigger.oldMap.get(accountVar.Id).Name){
                accountList.add(accountVar);
            }
        }
        if(!accountList.isEmpty()){
            WriteNetSuiteCustomerFuture.updateNetSuiteCustomer(JSON.serialize(accountList));
        }
    }
}
// End Trigger

Now when I change Eastern Mills Corp on the Salesforce Account
﻿
to Eastern Mills Enterprises and click 'Save', the change happens in all 3 places.
