Which type of script would you use to send emails or generate records in a NetSuite process?

User event scripts are specifically designed to execute on record events such as create, edit, or delete. They are triggered by user interactions with records in NetSuite and can be utilized to run custom logic in response to these events. For instance, when a record is created or modified, a user event script can be used to send out an email notification or create new records based on the conditions defined within the script. This capability makes them particularly effective for real-time responses to data changes and ensuring data integrity.

In contrast, scheduled scripts are typically used for processes that need to run at set intervals or on a cron-like schedule. While they can also facilitate the sending of emails or generation of records, they are not tied directly to user interactions with records and are more suited for batch processing tasks rather than immediate responses.

Suitelet scripts provide customizable web pages within NetSuite, enabling users to interact with custom forms and data. They enhance user experience but do not directly handle tasks like sending emails or responding to record changes unless combined with other scripts.

Portlet scripts are mainly designed to create custom dashboard portlets that display data or analytics for users in NetSuite. Their focus is on data presentation rather than data handling or event-driven tasks.

Therefore, user event scripts stand out
