Automate Vanta with Tray.ai
Create a vendor, create a custom document and update person metadata in Vanta, and start a workflow when Vanta sends “Questionnaire created”.
What can you do with Vanta on Tray.ai?
Vanta is a compliance platform that automates audits for frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, tracks controls, and manages vendor risk and trust centers. Tray.ai connects to Vanta through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Vanta API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Vanta sends “Trust Center access request received”, notify the deal owner in your CRM.
- Offboard people in Vanta when HR marks an employee as leaving.
- When Vanta sends “Questionnaire created”, create a task for the security team in your project tracker.
- Create a vendor when procurement approves a new supplier.

Set it up
Connect Vanta to Tray.ai
Each step uses Vanta's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Vanta with OAuth 2.0
Set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Vanta. 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.vanta.com as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Vanta's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List vendors”
It's one of 23 documented actions, under Vendors. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Vanta events
Give Vanta the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Questionnaire created” can then start a workflow, and so can 4 other events.
