# Podio integrations: items, tasks and applications

> Add a new item, create a task and add a new app in Podio, and start a workflow when Podio sends “Item created”.

**Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/podio-integrations/
**Categories:** Operations
**Connects through:** HTTP Connector

## Overview

Podio is a work management platform where teams build custom apps, spaces and workflows to track projects, records, tasks and conversations in one place. Tray.ai connects to Podio through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Podio API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Use cases

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping Podio 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 Podio 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 Podio 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 Podio 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 Podio?

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

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

The Podio API uses OAuth 2.0. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated Podio connector?

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