What can you do with Twist on Tray.ai?
Twist is a team messaging app from Doist that organises conversations into channel threads instead of a live chat stream, alongside direct messages. Tray.ai connects to Twist through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Twist API alongside the rest of your stack.
- Create a thread in the incidents channel when your monitoring tool raises an alert.
- When Twist sends “Thread added”, create a matching task in your project management tool.
- Add a comment to the release thread when a deployment finishes in your CI system.
- Add a workspace user when a new hire starts in your HR system.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 or a bearer token
- Base URL
- https://api.twist.com/api/v3
Set it up
Connect Twist to Tray.ai
Each step uses Twist's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Twist with OAuth 2.0
Set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Twist. Sign in once and every step reads the token from there.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://api.twist.com/api/v3 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Twist's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List threads”
It's one of 26 documented actions, under Threads. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Twist events
Give Twist the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Workspace user added” can then start a workflow, and so can 8 other events.
