Katana and QuickBooks Online, answered
What can start an automation from Katana?
Any of Katana's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Customer and New Sales Order. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in QuickBooks Online when something happens in Katana?
Any of QuickBooks Online's 45 actions, including Create account, Create bill, Create credit memo and Create customer. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from QuickBooks Online to Katana?
Yes. When something happens in QuickBooks Online, your agent can act in Katana too. This page covers both directions: QuickBooks Online's triggers and Katana's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Katana or QuickBooks Online?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Katana and QuickBooks Online without building an automation?

What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
