Configuring and customizing Tray to meet your needs
Copy

Tray offers a powerful and infinitely flexible way to automate workflows and integrate various software applications.

We have an extensive library of service connectors that can, out of the box, meet a wide range of use cases across different industries and business functions.

If there is no pre-built connector for a service you wish to use, you can quickly use our Http client to directly call any API, or you can spin up your own connector using our Connector Developer Kit (CDK)

Once you are familiar with the basics of Tray, you can customize it to meet your needs in pretty much any line of business and process automation.

Below are just a few use cases that illustrate the versatility and potential of Tray to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and drive digital transformation.
