# GoCanvas integrations: forms and submissions

> Create a form, create a submission and create a dispatch in GoCanvas. Connect GoCanvas to the rest of your operations stack with Tray.ai.

**Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/gocanvas-integrations/

**Connects through:** HTTP Connector

## Overview

GoCanvas replaces paper forms with mobile forms for field teams, so inspections, work orders and dispatched jobs are captured on a phone and sent back to the office. Tray.ai connects to GoCanvas through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the GoCanvas API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping GoCanvas 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 GoCanvas 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 GoCanvas 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 GoCanvas 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 GoCanvas?

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

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

The GoCanvas API uses OAuth 2.0 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 GoCanvas connector?

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