Tray can connect to practically any software that has an API - including REST-based and SOAP-based APIs. We can even process large CSV files for customers that use software that has limited API support. Customers really value Tray's ability to connect to databases and extract important data from them within their workflows.

The simplest way to think of a task, is to imagine it as equivalent to a step in a workflow. When a workflow runs it executes each of its steps and each one becomes a task. A task does not necessarily correspond directly to the number of calls to a service that are made. For example, a Tray connector may make several calls to an API when it executes but this only counts as a single task. The processing that occurs within these connectors is therefore referred to as a 'Task'. Tasks are therefore the core metrics used when determining the local data throughput necessary in order to perform Tray's logical operations.

We will not stop your Tray account from running. The next quarterly billing cycle, you will be charged the on-demand task rate based on the task overages that you have in your account.

The tasks are a one time task credit. Think of it as getting a free tank of gas when you buy a new car. The gas is yours free to consume in the way you like. This gives you initial capacity and room to test use cases in whatever manner you like before fully entering production.
