Automate Maritime Communications and Workflows with Sedna Integrations
Connect Sedna's intelligent messaging platform to your operations stack and cut out manual handoffs across your supply chain.
What can you do with the Sedna connector?
Sedna is a communication platform built for maritime, shipping, and logistics teams — designed to tame email overload with AI-powered message routing, tagging, and collaboration. Connecting Sedna to your broader tech stack lets you trigger workflows from incoming messages, sync operational data with your TMS or ERP, and route critical communications to the right teams without anyone having to do it manually. With tray.ai, you can build automations that tie Sedna to the tools your operations, chartering, and finance teams use every day.
Automate & integrate Sedna
Automating Sedna business processes or integrating Sedna data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Automated Fixture and Chartering Workflow Triggers
When a chartering message or fixture recap arrives in Sedna, tray.ai can parse the details and trigger downstream workflows in your TMS or voyage management system. Operators don't have to manually re-enter voyage data, and records stay current. Teams save hours of repetitive data entry per fixture and avoid the transcription errors that quietly cause expensive problems.
- Automatically create voyage records in your TMS when a fixture is confirmed in Sedna
- Reduce manual data entry errors that lead to costly operational mistakes
- Speed up fixture-to-voyage cycle times by triggering workflows the moment confirmation arrives
Use case
Laytime and Demurrage Claim Automation
Sedna captures a high volume of port communications, NOR tenders, and statement of facts documents — all inputs for laytime calculations. tray.ai can monitor Sedna for tagged messages, pull document attachments, and route them to your laytime calculation tool or demurrage management system automatically. Claims get built from complete, timely data rather than whatever someone managed to track down.
- Automatically capture NOR and SOF documents as they arrive in Sedna
- Route laytime-relevant messages to the correct demurrage workflow without manual triage
- Cut demurrage claim preparation time and avoid leaving money on the table
Use case
Cross-Team Message Routing and Escalation
Operational messages in Sedna often need input from operations, finance, legal, and commercial teams — sometimes all at once. tray.ai can watch for specific Sedna tags, message categories, or sender patterns and automatically create tasks, Slack notifications, or Jira tickets so the right people are looped in without waiting on someone to forward an email.
- Auto-route Sedna communications to relevant team channels instead of letting them sit in a shared inbox
- Create trackable tasks in project management tools directly from Sedna message events
- Escalate SLA-sensitive messages before deadlines are missed
Use case
Port Agency and Vendor Data Synchronization
Port agents, brokers, and vendors send structured operational updates through Sedna that your ERP or operational databases need to reflect. tray.ai can parse incoming messages from known counterparties and sync extracted data fields to your back-office systems automatically, so your records stay current without anyone manually re-entering them.
- Sync port disbursement account estimates and actuals to your ERP from Sedna messages
- Maintain an up-to-date vendor communication log linked to operational records
- Free operations teams from manually bridging communication and back-office systems
Use case
Contract and Document Management Integration
Charter parties, addenda, and other contractual documents arrive via email into Sedna and need to be filed, versioned, and accessible to legal and commercial teams. tray.ai can detect when documents are tagged or categorized in Sedna and upload them to SharePoint, Google Drive, or a contract management platform with the right metadata — no manual filing required.
- Automatically file incoming contract documents from Sedna into your document management system
- Apply consistent metadata and folder structures without manual intervention
- Give legal and commercial teams reliable access to current contract versions
Use case
Voyage Performance Reporting and KPI Tracking
Noon reports and performance updates from vessels or agents land in Sedna and contain KPI data that needs to reach your reporting dashboards. tray.ai can extract structured data from these messages and push it to your data warehouse, BI tool, or voyage performance platform in real time, so management isn't waiting on someone to compile a report.
- Parse noon and arrival reports from Sedna and push data to your BI platform automatically
- Build real-time voyage performance dashboards from live Sedna message data
- Cut report consolidation time for operations and fleet management teams
Build Sedna Agents
Give agents secure and governed access to Sedna through Agent Builder and Agent Gateway for MCP.
Fetch Message Threads
Data SourceRetrieve full conversation threads from Sedna so an agent has context on ongoing communications before taking action or drafting a response.
Look Up Contact Details
Data SourcePull contact and company information stored in Sedna to give an agent more context when handling messages or tasks. Useful for personalizing responses or routing communications to the right team.
Query Inbox and Message Status
Data SourceCheck the status of messages and inbox queues to identify unread, pending, or overdue communications. An agent can use this to prioritize follow-ups or flag urgent items for human review.
Retrieve Team and Assignment Data
Data SourceAccess information about team members, roles, and current message assignments within Sedna so an agent can make better decisions about routing or escalating messages to the right person.
Search Messages by Keyword or Metadata
Data SourceSearch across Sedna messages using keywords, tags, or metadata like vessel names, voyage references, or cargo details. An agent can surface relevant historical communications to inform decisions or generate summaries.
Send or Reply to Messages
Agent ToolCompose and send new messages or replies within Sedna on behalf of users or automated workflows, handling routine communications like confirmations, acknowledgments, or status updates.
Assign Messages to Team Members
Agent ToolAutomatically assign incoming messages to the appropriate team member or queue based on content, urgency, or workload — so triage moves faster and nothing gets missed.
Tag and Categorize Messages
Agent ToolApply tags, labels, or categories to messages in Sedna to organize communications by topic, voyage, counterparty, or priority. An agent can handle this classification automatically to keep inboxes structured and searchable.
Create and Update Tasks
Agent ToolCreate follow-up tasks or update existing ones linked to messages within Sedna, so action items derived from communications don't get lost.
Archive or Close Message Threads
Agent ToolMark message threads as resolved or archive them once an issue is closed or a task is completed. This keeps inboxes clean and signals to team members that no further action is needed.
Respond to Incoming Messages
ChannelDeploy an AI agent directly within Sedna to monitor incoming messages and respond autonomously to routine queries like ETA requests, booking confirmations, or status updates. This cuts manual workload for operations teams handling high volumes of maritime communications.
Assist Users Within Sedna Conversations
ChannelLet users interact with an agent inside Sedna message threads to get instant summaries, suggested replies, or contextual information without leaving the platform. Handy for teams managing complex, time-sensitive maritime operations.

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Sedna — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
High Volume of Unstructured Operational Emails
Maritime operations teams receive hundreds of emails daily with operational data buried in unstructured text. Manually pulling out fixture details, ETA updates, and financial figures — then re-entering them into operational systems — is slow, error-prone, and a poor use of anyone's time.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai can watch Sedna for tagged or categorized messages and apply data parsing logic to extract structured fields from message bodies and attachments. Extracted data gets pushed automatically to the correct downstream systems, with no manual re-entry.
Challenge
Disconnected Communication and Operations Platforms
Sedna is the communication hub for many maritime businesses, but it doesn't talk to TMS, ERP, or finance systems on its own. That forces operators to constantly switch between platforms and manually fill in the gaps — which slows decisions and lets records drift out of sync.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai connects Sedna's API to your operations stack through a central integration layer. Events and data in Sedna can automatically trigger actions in your TMS, ERP, accounting platform, or any other system, so information moves without anyone pushing it along.
Challenge
Inconsistent Document Filing and Retrieval
Contract documents, invoices, and operational reports arrive in Sedna but often get filed inconsistently or left sitting in an email thread. When someone urgently needs a document, they end up hunting through inboxes — a frustrating waste of time that also creates real compliance risk.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai can automatically detect when relevant documents arrive in Sedna and route them to your document management system with consistent naming and metadata. Every document gets filed correctly the moment it arrives, no manual action needed.
