What can you do with CommCare on Tray.ai?
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.
- Download report data each week and load it into your data warehouse for program reporting.
- Create a mobile worker when a new field staff member is added to your HR system.
- Get form data from field visits and update the matching records in your case database.
- Delete a mobile worker when your HR system marks a field worker as having left.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- An API key in a request header or basic authentication
- Base URL
- https://www.commcarehq.org/a/{domain}/api
Set it up
Connect CommCare to Tray.ai
Each step uses CommCare's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save CommCare'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://www.commcarehq.org/a/{domain}/api as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from CommCare's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List cases”
It's one of 18 documented actions, under Cases. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Hand it to an AI agent
Wrap “Get case data” and “Bulk upload case data” in workflows, and Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes them as governed tools Claude and other AI agents can call.
