## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping Zoho Invoice credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store Zoho Invoice credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the Zoho Invoice API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the Zoho Invoice API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to Zoho Invoice?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to Zoho Invoice through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Zoho Invoice API directly. Any call the Zoho Invoice API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with Zoho Invoice?

The Zoho Invoice API uses OAuth 2.0. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.
