Automate Buildium with Tray.ai
Create a property, create a lease and create a tenant in Buildium, and start a workflow when Buildium sends “Lease created”.
What can you do with Buildium on Tray.ai?
Buildium is property management software for residential landlords and community associations, covering properties, leases, tenants, rent payments, bills, and maintenance tasks. Tray.ai connects to Buildium through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Buildium API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Buildium sends “Payment created”, record the rent payment in your accounting system.
- When Buildium sends “Lease created”, start move-in tasks for the property team in your project tracker.
- Route each new bill to finance for approval when Buildium sends “Bill created”.
- Create a vendor in Buildium when procurement approves a new contractor.

Set it up
Connect Buildium to Tray.ai
Each step uses Buildium's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Buildium's API key
Save the key as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client puts it in the request header, read from $.auth. The key 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://api.buildium.com as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Buildium's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List properties”
It's one of 20 documented actions, under Properties. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Buildium events
Give Buildium the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Lease created” can then start a workflow, and so can 5 other events.
