What can you do with Acquire on Tray.ai?
Acquire is a customer service platform for live chat and messaging, where teams handle conversations and cases and keep records of contacts and companies. Tray.ai connects to Acquire through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Acquire API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Acquire sends “New case”, create a matching ticket in your issue tracker for engineering.
- Add a contact in Acquire for every new customer in your CRM.
- On “Chat closed”, log the conversation against the account in your CRM.
- Merge contacts in Acquire when your CRM merges duplicate customer records.

Set it up
Connect Acquire to Tray.ai
Each step uses Acquire's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Acquire's API token
Save the token Acquire issues as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client sends it as a bearer token on every call. The token stays out of the workflow and out of the logs.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://{account_id}.acquire.io/api/v1 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Acquire's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List cases”
It's one of 18 documented actions, under Cases. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Acquire events
Give Acquire the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Chat set to active” can then start a workflow, and so can 2 other events.
