Create

1min
To create a Contact in NetSuite, use action as "createContact" and pass the Contact data in the requestJSON under "contacts".
Note: You can only create one record at a time.
The following is an example of createContact where we are setting most of the fields (See Contact﻿ for all the available fields).  The response will return the response back from NetSuite, which includes the new NetSuite ﻿Contact Id (internalId), plus the newly created Salesforce ﻿Contact Id (salesforceID)
