Merge Vs. Tray

The Unified API for Customizability

Merge is a Unified API for customer-facing integrations. Tray Embedded is a low-code tool.

But did you know Merge offers the same depth of data extensibility as Tray?

Unified API

Stop maintaining one-off integrations

Merge allows your app to connect to an entire category of software through a single integration. Unlike Tray, you won’t need to use developer resources to build one-to-one integrations for each platform you want to support.

With Merge

Build once to a Unified API

With Tray Embedded

Integrate with each product
A customizable API

Access any piece of data with a single API

Whether you need to read and write custom objects or custom fields and attributes, Merge supports you with features that enable deep data coverage in a single build.

Passthrough Request

Write code to interact with any third-party API endpoint. Merge is a unified authentication layer.

Hundreds of integrations... and counting

“Every integration we’d want to add through Tray.ai would require us to manually configure a trigger and set of actions, which wasn’t scalable. Merge, on the other hand, would let us offer all the HRIS and ticketing integrations our prospects and customers ask for without having to build each.”
