How to Programmatically Email a Sales Order in NetSuite SuiteScript 2.x
Learn to generate and send sales order email content dynamically using NetSuite's SuiteScript 2.x N/render and N/email modules.
Short answer
To programmatically email a sales order in NetSuite, leverage SuiteScript 2.x's N/render module to generate the transaction's HTML content. Then, use the N/email module's email.send() function to dispatch the email with the generated content to the desired recipients, replicating the standard customer sales order email.
Scenario
