Automate Cloudinary with Tray.ai
Update an asset, create a folder and update asset tags in Cloudinary, and start a workflow when Cloudinary sends “Asset uploaded”.
What can you do with Cloudinary on Tray.ai?
Cloudinary is a media management service that stores, transforms, and delivers images and videos for websites and apps, with folders, tags, and metadata for organizing assets. Tray.ai connects to Cloudinary through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Cloudinary API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Cloudinary sends “Asset uploaded”, add the image to your product catalogue.
- When Cloudinary sends “Asset deleted”, remove references to it from your content system.
- Update asset tags in Cloudinary when a product's category changes in your catalogue.
- Post to your design team's chat when Cloudinary sends “Access control changed”.

Set it up
Connect Cloudinary to Tray.ai
Each step uses Cloudinary's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Cloudinary's username and password
Save the credentials Cloudinary gives you as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client sends them as basic auth. They stay 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.cloudinary.com/v1_1/{cloud_name} as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Cloudinary's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List assets”
It's one of 19 documented actions, under Assets. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Cloudinary events
Give Cloudinary the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Asset uploaded” can then start a workflow, and so can 8 other events.
Give your AI agents Cloudinary tools
Build an MCP server on Cloudinary in Agent Gateway and choose which actions your agents can call. Every call runs with access control and an audit trail. How Agent Gateway works
- List assets
- List folders
- List tags
- List upload presets
- List metadata fields
- Get a usage report
- Get an asset
- Update an asset
