Integration

Katana integration

Katana is a cloud manufacturing ERP (MRP) for inventory, production and order management. Manage products, materials, services and variants with their BOM rows and product operations; customers and suppliers with addresses; sales orders with rows, addresses, shipping fees, fulfillments and returns; purchase orders with rows and receiving; manufacturing orders with recipe rows, operation rows, ingredient picking and productions; stock levels, movements, replenishment signals, safety stock, adjustments and transfers; batches, locations, tax rates, operators, users and webhooks. Not exposed: price lists, bin locations and bin transfers, serial numbers and traceability reports, demand forecasts, custom field definitions, stocktakes, outsourced purchase order recipe rows, purchase order additional costs, accounting metadata, rank changes, the webhook log export and the deprecated recipe and reorder point routes. The API needs a Katana Professional plan or higher. Authentication is an API key created in Katana under Settings > API, sent as a Bearer token; the default rate limit is 60 requests per 60 seconds.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Katana.Built from the 154 Katana tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Katana

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.
