# ServiceM8 integrations: jobs and job activities > Create a job, create a job activity and create a company contact in ServiceM8, and start a workflow when ServiceM8 sends “Job changed”. **Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/servicem8-integrations/ **Categories:** Operations **Connects through:** HTTP Connector ## Overview ServiceM8 is job management software for trades and field service businesses, covering scheduling, quotes, job materials, staff, and client records. Tray.ai connects to ServiceM8 through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the ServiceM8 API alongside the rest of your stack. ## Use cases ### Jobs Read, create, update, and delete jobs in ServiceM8 from any Tray.ai workflow.

Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output. ### Going from the ServiceM8 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 ServiceM8 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 ServiceM8? Yes. Tray.ai connects to ServiceM8 through the HTTP Connector, which calls the ServiceM8 API directly. Any call the ServiceM8 API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow. ### How does Tray.ai authenticate with ServiceM8? The ServiceM8 API uses an API key in a request header and 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 ServiceM8 connector? ServiceM8 runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated ServiceM8 connector from the ServiceM8 API. ## Learn more - Intelligent Integration: https://tray.ai/platform/intelligent-ipaas/ - Merlin Agent Builder: https://tray.ai/platform/merlin-agent-builder/ - Agent Gateway for MCP: https://tray.ai/platform/agent-gateway/ - Book a demo: https://tray.ai/contact/
