## Overview

CommCare is a mobile data collection and case management platform from Dimagi, used by frontline teams to run offline forms, track cases, and manage field workers. Tray.ai connects to CommCare through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the CommCare API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping CommCare 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 CommCare 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 CommCare 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 CommCare 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 CommCare?

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

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

The CommCare API uses an API key in a request header and basic authentication. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated CommCare connector?

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