This guide explains how to set up an automation in Make so that when a sales order in Katana changes to Delivered, an email is automatically sent via Gmail.

  • Add the recipient:

    • You can enter a fixed email address (e.g., your sales team)

    • Or map the customer’s email from the “List customers” module.

  • Add an email subject.

  • Compose the email content, formatting as needed (e.g., order number, delivery date).

  • Save your setup.


Step 7: Test the scenario

  • Click Run once in Make to test the automation.

  • Verify that an email is sent when a Katana sales order is updated to Delivered.


Final step: Turn it on

Once testing looks good:

  • Switch the scenario to On in Make.

  • Your automation will now run automatically whenever an SO is marked as Delivered in Katana.


You’ve now automated email notifications for delivered sales orders!

Tip: You can expand this workflow — for example, CC team members, send a Slack message, or log deliveries in a Google Sheet.
