## Overview

CEIPAL is an applicant tracking and workforce platform for staffing firms that manages job postings, applicants, submissions, interviews, placements, clients, and vendors. Tray.ai connects to CEIPAL through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the CEIPAL API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping CEIPAL credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store CEIPAL credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the CEIPAL API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the CEIPAL API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to CEIPAL?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to CEIPAL through the HTTP Connector, which calls the CEIPAL API directly. Any call the CEIPAL API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with CEIPAL?

The CEIPAL API uses a bearer token. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated CEIPAL connector?

CEIPAL runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated CEIPAL connector from the CEIPAL API.
