Connectors

Connectors expose the API operations of the third party services that you will be integrating with Tray.

If you were building an integration between Salesforce and Slack, you would need both Salesforce and Slack connectors. You will use the relevant operations on both connectors to build the integration.

What's a service inside the connector object?

A Tray connector essentially exposes underlying third party APIs (ex. a Salesforce connector has a corresponding Salesforce service in Tray). The service object contains the details about the service attached to the connector.

Different versions of the connectors may use different service versions. As third party services update their APIs, new service and it's associated connector is added to Tray.

Tray regularly deprecates services and the connectors that use those services regularly. Unless you specififcally want to use the old APIs of a third party service, you should go with the latest service and the latest connector version associated to it.

List Connectors

get/core/v1/connectors
This endpoint is non-billable.

Returns a list with all the available connectors from Tray's connector library.

A connector can have multiple versions. the following key data is returned:

List Connector Operations

get/core/v1/connectors/{connector-name}/versions/{connector-version}/operations
This endpoint is non-billable.

Returns a list with all the available operations for a given connector

Each connector operation has an input and output schema that can be used by a frontend to build a form or validate data.

You can then use the schema to correctly construct your inputs for the 'Call connector' operation.

Call Connector

post/core/v1/connectors/{connector-name}/versions/{connector-version}/call
This endpoint is billable. Every call to this endpoint is billed as one task.

Executes an operation of a connector and returns the result as the response.

  • The input is a regular json object that must fit the input schema of the operation as retrieved from Get connector operations.

  • The authId field should be the id of a previously created authentication. The output is also a regular json object containing the response from the 3rd party.

  • The outcome field indicates whether or not the execution was successful.

Note:

SecuritybearerAuth
Request
path Parameters
connector-name
required
string

The name of the connector retrieved from Get connectors

Example: slack
connector-version
required
string

The version of the connector retrieved from Get connectors

Example: 9.1
header Parameters
Authorization
string

This must be a user token to call the connector on behalf of an end user. Note that authID must belong to the end user whose user token is being used.
If master token is used, you would essentially be calling the connector from your Tray account. Note that authID must belong to your account.

Example: Bearer 3fd74d349xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxd90df521
Request Body schema: application/json
required
operation
required
string

The name of the operation obtained using Get connector operations

authId
string <uuid>

The End User-specific auth id obtained when using Create user authentication

required
object

The exact schema of inputs must be retrieved from Get connector operations

returnOutputSchema
boolean

Only applicable if Get connector operations has returned true for hasDynamicOutput - indicating that the output changes depending on the input

Responses
200

OK - will return either success or error from the 3rd party.
A success response will include all relevant data including pagination tokens etc. if relevant.
An error response will include details of e.g. 429, 401, 404 from 3rd party (note that this is not currently in standardized format)

Response Schema: application/json
outcome
required
string (PublicConnectorCallResultOutcome)
Enum: "success" "error"

400

Invalid input - Use Get connector operations to find correct schema.
You can also use the Operations explorer tool to quickly find the input schema.
Finally, you can use the Form builder app to see input schema getting generated live as you fill the form.

401

Unauthorized - Verify the token validity

403

Forbidden

404

Not found - Indicates incorrect connector name, connector version, or auth id
Use Get Connectors to retrieve correct service details and Get User Auths to check auth exists
