- Get enrollment state weekly and record course completions in your HR system.
- Delete a program membership when an employee leaves, triggered from your HR system.

Set it up
Connect Coursera to Tray.ai
Each step uses Coursera's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Coursera with OAuth 2.0
Set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Coursera. Sign in once and every step reads the token from there.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://api.coursera.com/ent as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Coursera's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List programs”
It's one of 17 documented actions, under Programs. 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 course materials” and “List curriculum collections” in workflows, and Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes them as governed tools Claude and other AI agents can call.
