# ION to NetSuite

## Getting started

Follow the instructions below to automatically sync data between [ION](/apps/i/ion.md) and [NetSuite](/apps/n/netsuite.md):

### Create an <img src="/files/MTUONq04qp7n1FJPmFek" alt="" data-size="line"> ION integration

First, create an ION integration following the instructions [here](/apps/i/ion.md). Configure your data fetch, specifying:

* The types of data you want to fetch (`parts`, `files`, `change orders`, etc).
* Fetch frequency - this is either scheduled, eg. every 1 hour, 10 minutes, etc., or event-driven via webhooks.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a <img src="/files/AKPUFiCJFfvEmxXifOTu" alt="" data-size="line">NetSuite integration

Next, set up a NetSuite integration, following the instructions [here](/apps/n/netsuite.md). Configure your data fetch, specifying:

* The types of data you want to fetch (`parts`, `purchase orders`, `work orders`, etc).
* Fetch frequency, for example every 1 hour, 10 minutes, etc.

Violet will need to fetch whichever data you wish to be synced from ION (eg. `parts` or `purchase orders`).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure ION sync to NetSuite

In the ION integration panel, select NetSuite as the target app from the dropdown menu:

Then configure any settings or rules, for example:

1. How often data should be synced, and allowable sync windows<br>

2. Only sync data with certain Statuses<br>

3. Or only sync data created after a certain date.

   <figure><img src="/files/zFmqMe7Ej3gwMwFeljku" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Violet will automatically sync new data to NetSuite, and it will push updates to existing data when there are changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
