This guide shows how to use Make to automatically export customer contacts from Katana into Google Sheets.

For background, see our Make integration overview.


Step 1: Prepare your Google Sheet

  1. Open Google Sheets and create a new spreadsheet.

  2. Add a header row with the following customer fields:

    • Name

    • First name

    • Last name

    • Company

    • Email

    • Currency

    • Phone

    • Comment

    • Default billing address ID

    • Default shipping address ID

    • Addresses

    • Katana internal ID

    • Created at (timestamp)

    • Updated at (timestamp)


Step 2: Create a scenario in Make

  1. In Make, click + Create a new scenario.

  2. Add Katana as the first module (trigger).

  3. Choose List Customers as the action.

    • Check Select All for Customer IDs (to include all available customers).

    • Adjust the Limit field if you want to fetch more than the default number of records.

      Make screenshot: Shows the Limit field

  4. Save and continue.


Step 3: Add Google Sheets as the action

  1. Add a second module: Google Sheets → Add Rows.

    Make screenshot: Highlights the 'Bulk Add Rows' action

  2. Select your spreadsheet and worksheet.

  3. Map the Katana fields from the previous step to the matching Google Sheets columns.


Step 4: Run the scenario

  1. Run the scenario once.

    Make screenshot: Shows the 'Run once' button

  2. Customer data from Katana will be exported into your Google Sheet.


Step 5: Avoid duplicates

If you run the scenario multiple times, there are two ways to prevent duplicates:

  • Option 1: In the Katana module, adjust the Created At (min date) filter so only customers created after that date are pulled.

  • Option 2: Switch the module from List Customers to Watch Customers so only new customers are exported automatically.


That’s it! You now have an automated workflow to export customers from Katana into Google Sheets with Make.
