This guide explains how to use Make to automatically export supplier 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 supplier fields:

    • Name (required)

    • Email (optional)

    • Comment (optional)

    • Katana internal ID

    • Created at (timestamp)

    • Updated at (timestamp)


Step 2: Create a scenario in Make

  1. In Make, choose Scenarios from the left side menu and click + Create scenario.

    • Toggle Map Supplier IDs (to fetch all suppliers).

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

  4. Save and continue.


Step 3: Add Google Sheets as the action

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

  2. Select your spreadsheet and worksheet.

  3. Map the fields from Katana to the corresponding Google Sheets columns:

    • Name → Name

    • Email → Email

    • Comment → Comment

    • Katana internal ID → Katana internal ID

    • Created at → Created at

    • Updated at → Updated at


Step 4: Run the scenario

  1. Run the scenario once.

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


Step 5: Avoid duplicates

If you plan to run the scenario multiple times, switch the trigger to Watch Suppliers instead of List Suppliers.

  • This ensures only new supplier records are added to your sheet.

  • Prevents duplicate entries when re-running the workflow.


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