What can you do with Metabase on Tray.ai?
Metabase is a business intelligence tool, available open source or as a hosted service, that connects to your databases so teams can ask questions, build charts, and share dashboards. Tray.ai connects to Metabase through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Metabase API alongside the rest of your stack.

Frequently asked questions
What can a Tray.ai workflow do in Metabase?
+
The Metabase API documents 9 actions across 4 resources (Questions, Dashboards, Databases, Users). For example: List questions; Create a dashboard; Add a database connection. A workflow can make any documented call through the HTTP Connector.
How does Tray.ai authenticate with Metabase?
+
The Metabase API uses an API key in a request header. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.
Which Metabase events can start a Tray.ai workflow?
+
Metabase sends one event to a webhook URL, for example: Alert triggered. A Tray.ai webhook trigger receives them and starts a workflow.
