Overview

In order to offer high-level security and authentication, NetSuite supports token-based authentication (TBA), which is a robust, industry standards-based mechanism that enhances the overall system security. This authentication mechanism enables client applications to use a token to access NetSuite through APIs, eliminating the need for RESTlets or web services integrations using stored user credentials.

In this case, you need to connect NetSuite with Webgility for which you need to have 5 key parameters before you can proceed with the integration process. The following are the key parameters that are required:

The Account ID is already available and can be easily tracked from your NetSuite application, however, you need to generate the remaining 4 parameters. Once done, you can successfully proceed to connect NetSuite with Webgility.

Once you are done with the above steps, you can go ahead and successfully connect Webgility Desktop with NetSuite.
