Automate Contently with Tray.ai
Create a project and submit review notes in Contently, and start a workflow when Contently sends “Project assigned”.
What can you do with Contently on Tray.ai?
Contently is a content platform for regulated industries, pairing content strategy and compliance review with a vetted network of freelance writers and experts. Tray.ai connects to Contently through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Contently API alongside the rest of your stack. API access comes through Contently's partner program or API plan, so you need approved credentials first.
- When Contently sends “Draft submitted”, create a review task for the compliance team in your project tool.
- When Contently sends “Payout released”, record the freelancer payment in your accounting system.
- Create a project when a content request is approved in your marketing planning tool.

Set it up
Connect Contently to Tray.ai
Each step uses Contently's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Contently with OAuth 2.0
Ask Contently for API access. Once it's approved, set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Contently. Sign in once and every step reads the token from there.
Step 2
Import a request from Contently's docs
Add an HTTP Client step and paste a cURL example from Contently's API docs. Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and query.
Step 3
Start with “Search creators”
It's one of 8 documented actions, under Creators. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Contently events
Give Contently the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Project assigned” can then start a workflow, and so can 3 other events.
