What can you do with WP Engine on Tray.ai?

WP Engine is a managed WordPress hosting platform where agencies and businesses run sites, environments, domains, backups, and caching for their WordPress installs. Tray.ai connects to WP Engine through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the WP Engine API alongside the rest of your stack.

  • Purge the cache when new content is published in your content system.
  • Create a backup before each release your engineering team ships.
  • Create an account user when a new agency staff member joins in your HR system.
