What can you do with BoxHero on Tray.ai?
BoxHero is inventory management software for tracking stock across locations, recording stock movements, and handling purchase orders, sales orders and returns. Tray.ai connects to BoxHero through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the BoxHero API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When BoxHero sends “Transaction created”, update stock levels in your ecommerce store.
- Create a sales order in BoxHero each time a new order is placed in your online store.
- When BoxHero sends “Item created”, add the product to your accounting system so finance can track its cost.
- Receive purchase order quantities when the warehouse confirms a delivery in your receiving app.

Set it up
Connect BoxHero to Tray.ai
Each step uses BoxHero's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save BoxHero's API token
Save the token BoxHero 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://rest.boxhero-app.com/v1 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from BoxHero's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List items”
It's one of 25 documented actions, under Items. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from BoxHero events
Give BoxHero the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Transaction created” can then start a workflow, and so can 5 other events.
