## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to M-Files?

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

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with M-Files?

The M-Files API uses an API key in a request header and a bearer token. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated M-Files connector?

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