What can you do with Fivetran on Tray.ai?
Fivetran is a managed data movement service that copies data from apps, databases and files into warehouses and lakes on a schedule, keeping schemas up to date. Tray.ai connects to Fivetran through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Fivetran API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Fivetran sends “Sync ended”, run the downstream data models in your transformation tool.
- Create a connection in Fivetran when the data team approves a new data source.
- Invite a user to Fivetran when an analyst joins the data team in your HR system.

Set it up
Connect Fivetran to Tray.ai
Each step uses Fivetran's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Fivetran's username and password
Save the credentials Fivetran 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.fivetran.com/v1 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Fivetran's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List groups”
It's one of 17 documented actions, under Groups. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Fivetran events
Give Fivetran the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Sync started” can then start a workflow, and so can 1 other event.
