Set it up
Connect Zoho Cliq to Tray.ai
Each step uses Zoho Cliq's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Zoho Cliq with OAuth 2.0
Set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Zoho Cliq. 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://cliq.zoho.com/api/v2 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Zoho Cliq's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “Get messages”
It's one of 18 documented actions, under Messages. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Hand it to an AI agent
Wrap “Post a channel message” and “Edit a message” in workflows, and Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes them as governed tools Claude and other AI agents can call.
Give your AI agents Zoho Cliq tools
Build an MCP server on Zoho Cliq in Agent Gateway and choose which actions your agents can call. Every call runs with access control and an audit trail. How Agent Gateway works
- Post a channel message
- Create a channel
- Retrieve chats
- Add a user
- Post a message to a bot
- Get messages
- Edit a message
- Delete a message
