CSV Template for Bulk URL Redirects in NetSuite

Use the CSV template for bulk importing URL redirects efficiently in NetSuite, enabling quick updates and changes.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

URL redirects are critical for maintaining website SEO and user experience. In NetSuite, rather than setting up URL redirects individually, you can leverage the website redirects import assistant to add or update multiple URL redirects simultaneously using a CSV file. This method supports bulk imports of up to 100,000 URL redirects, streamlining the redirect management process significantly.

CSV Template File for URL Redirects

The import assistant provides a necessary CSV template for managing redirects. When preparing your file, ensure to include the following fields for each redirect record:

FieldDescription
Domain NameMust match an existing domain name in NetSuite. This field has a maximum size of 80 characters. Ensure you have set up the required domains in NetSuite prior to the import.
Redirect From URLMust be a relative URL and should be descriptive. Maximum size is 4000 characters.
Redirect To URLCan be a relative URL pointing to an HTML page on your NetSuite site, a descriptive URL for a tab/category/item detail page, or an absolute URL to another site. Maximum size is also 4000 characters.

Using the Website Redirects Import Assistant

To import URL redirects from a CSV file, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Commerce > Hosting > Redirects > Import.
  2. Click the Redirect Template File link to download the CSV template.
  3. Save the CSV file and fill it with your data according to the provided guidelines.
  4. In the Import Assistant, click Select and browse to your CSV file, then click Next.
    • The second page of the Import Assistant will automatically map the fields in your file to the corresponding NetSuite fields.
  5. Click Run to initiate the import.

During the import process, the system will match the Domain Name and Redirect From URL values to existing redirect records. If a match is found, it updates the existing record with the new Redirect To URL. If no match is found, it will create a new redirect record.

You can check the import Job Status page for progress updates. Note that the count displayed for successfully imported URL redirects only reflects the Redirect From URL values included in your CSV file.
