What can you do with Rocket.Chat on Tray.ai?
Rocket.Chat is an open source team chat and omnichannel messaging platform, run in the cloud or self-hosted, with channels, private groups, direct messages and live chat. Tray.ai connects to Rocket.Chat through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Rocket.Chat API alongside the rest of your stack.
- Post a message to the on-call channel when your monitoring tool raises a critical alert.
- Create a channel for each new customer project opened in your project management tool.
- Delete a user in Rocket.Chat when your identity provider offboards them, so access ends the same day.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- An API key in a request header
- Base URL
- https://{your-workspace}/api/v1
Set it up
Connect Rocket.Chat to Tray.ai
Each step uses Rocket.Chat's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Rocket.Chat's API key
Save the key as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client puts it in the request header, read from $.auth. The key stays 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://{your-workspace}/api/v1 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Rocket.Chat's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List channels”
It's one of 18 documented actions, under Channels. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Rocket.Chat events
Give Rocket.Chat the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Message sent” can then start a workflow, and so can 6 other events.
