What can you do with Rundeck on Tray.ai?
Rundeck is a runbook automation tool from PagerDuty for defining operational jobs and running scripts and commands across servers, on demand or on a schedule. Tray.ai connects to Rundeck through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Rundeck API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Rundeck sends “Job failed”, open an incident and page the on-call engineer through your incident tool.
- Run a job in Rundeck to restart a service when your monitoring tool fires a known alert.
- When Rundeck sends “Average duration exceeded”, warn the operations team in your team chat before the job holds up others.
- Get execution output after each run and attach it to the change ticket in your IT service desk.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- An API key in a request header or an API key in the query string
Set it up
Connect Rundeck to Tray.ai
Each step uses Rundeck's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Rundeck'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
Import a request from Rundeck's docs
Add an HTTP Client step and paste a cURL example from Rundeck's API docs. Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and query.
Step 3
Start with “List jobs”
It's one of 25 documented actions, under Jobs. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Rundeck events
Give Rundeck the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Job started” can then start a workflow, and so can 4 other events.

Frequently asked questions
What can a Tray.ai workflow do in Rundeck?
+
The Rundeck API documents 25 actions across 6 resources (Jobs, Executions, Projects, Adhoc commands, Key storage, Webhooks). For example: List jobs; List running executions; List projects. A workflow can make any documented call through the HTTP Connector.
How does Tray.ai authenticate with Rundeck?
+
The Rundeck API uses an API key in a request header and an API key in the query string. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.
Which Rundeck events can start a Tray.ai workflow?
+
Rundeck sends 5 events to a webhook URL, for example: Job started; Job succeeded; Job failed; Job failed with retry; Average duration exceeded. A Tray.ai webhook trigger receives them and starts a workflow.
