Automate Nutshell with Tray.ai
Create a lead, create a contact and create an activity in Nutshell, and start a workflow when Nutshell sends “Contact edited”.
What can you do with Nutshell on Tray.ai?
Nutshell is a CRM for small sales teams that tracks leads, companies, people, activities and pipelines, with quotes, invoices and email marketing audiences alongside. Tray.ai connects to Nutshell through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Nutshell API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Nutshell sends “Lead won”, create the customer record in your accounting system.
- Create a lead in Nutshell for each new demo request from your website forms.
- After “Contact edited”, sync the updated details to your marketing platform.

Set it up
Connect Nutshell to Tray.ai
Each step uses Nutshell's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Nutshell's username and password
Save the credentials Nutshell 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://app.nutshell.com/rest as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Nutshell's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List leads”
It's one of 20 documented actions, under Leads. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Nutshell events
Give Nutshell the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Contact edited” can then start a workflow, and so can 1 other event.
