# SmartSuite integrations: records and tables

> Create a record, create a table and create a solution in SmartSuite, and start a workflow when SmartSuite sends “Record created”.

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

## Overview

SmartSuite is a work management platform where teams build solutions of linked tables to track projects, processes and records. Tray.ai connects to SmartSuite through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the SmartSuite API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite?

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

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

The SmartSuite API uses an API key in a request header. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated SmartSuite connector?

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