How Files.com Fits With Tray.io

Tray.io automates app-to-app workflows, and its SFTP connector reads files from, and writes files to, a remote host. The workflow logic is the easy part. The part that breaks is the file movement underneath it: partners send over SFTP in formats that vary by sender, and someone has to collect, validate, and clean each file before a Tray workflow ever picks it up.

Files.com is that host. Partners and upstream systems send to your Files.com site over SFTP, FTPS, or HTTPS; an Automation validates each file, normalizes the format, and stages it where the Tray SFTP connector reads. The workflow processes clean data, and the files it writes back are picked up, encrypted, and delivered to each partner — with every transfer logged and each partner scoped to its own folder.

What You Would Use

Be The Endpoint Tray Connects To

Point the Tray.io SFTP connector at your Files.com site and it reads and writes staged files over SFTP — one endpoint, per-partner credentials, and an audit record on every transfer.

See File Transfer

Normalize Before The Workflow

Convert CSV, JSON, XML, and EDI into the shape your workflow expects, and pull values out of each file to route it, before the Tray connector ever reads it.

See Transform & Extract

Pre- And Post-Process Around The Run

An Automation validates and stages each arrival before the workflow runs, and routes or delivers what the workflow writes after — on a schedule or the moment a file lands.

See Automations

Collect Files With Inboxes

Give a partner who has no SFTP client a secure upload link instead. Files land in the same folder your Tray workflow watches, with the same audit trail.
