Suitescript 2.0 record.load either Lead or Prospect

Question

I created a user event script that updates a lead custom field from a new phone call record on afterSubmit. It loads the customer from the id of the entity id on the phone call event. It works fine, but it loads a lead record only. How do I fine tune this script to get the entity type and then use that to determine which record type to load?

function afterSubmit(context) {
                var phoneRec = context.newRecord;
                var checkbox1 = phoneRec.getValue({
                    fieldId: 'custevent_field1'
                });
                var checkbox2 = phoneRec.getValue({
                    fieldId: 'custevent_field2'
                });

                var custId = phoneRec.getValue({
                    fieldId: 'company'
                });

                if(custId && checkbox1 == true) {
                    var loadedcust = record.load({
                        type : record.Type.LEAD,
                        id : custId});
                        loadedcust.setValue({
                            fieldId:'custentity_filed1',
                            value: true });
                            loadedcust.save();
                }

                if(custId && checkbox2 == true) {
                    var loadedcust = record.load({
                        type : record.Type.LEAD,
                        id : custId});
                        loadedcust.setValue({
                            fieldId:'custentity_field2',
                            value: true });
                            loadedcust.save();
                }
        }

        return {afterSubmit}

Not sure how to pull more entity information from just the id value. Any insight will help.

Yes you should be able to use just customer.

Also unless your values are exclusive you can also do the following to make the return quicker:

define(['N/record',...], function(record,...){ // include record module in your define

function afterSubmit(context) {
    var phoneRec = context.newRecord;
    var checkbox1 = phoneRec.getValue({
        fieldId: 'custevent_field1'
    });
    var checkbox2 = phoneRec.getValue({
        fieldId: 'custevent_field2'
    });

    var custId = phoneRec.getValue({
        fieldId: 'company'
    });

    var updates = {};
    var anyUpdate = false;

    if(custId && checkbox1 == true) {
        updates.custentity_filed1 = true; //not field1?
        anyUpdate = true;
    }

    if(custId && checkbox2 == true) {
        updates.custentity_field2 = true;
        anyUpdate = true;
    }

    if(anyUpdate){ //single update. No need to load record twice nor submit it twice.
        record.submitFields({
            type:'customer',
            id:custId,
            values:updates
        })
    }

}

return {afterSubmit}
}
