I have not tried this but it looks like you can per their documentation:

Hi

I have that in use...though not for ranorex but for another framework

It basically works like this:
...you can extend the testrail user interface with ui scripts (inside the testrail administration / customizations).
these scripts are automatically executed when a testrail page is being shown

so inside that script, you basically "build" a "run tests" button and add a url to it that should be called (like they have with their sample script in the documentation)

when building that url, you also get access to use different variables such as the current test run ID
....e.g. url: "https://your-web-endpoint....?runID=" + uiscripts.context.run.id;

so when you then click on "Start Tests" in your TestRail, it will automatically send a http request to the provided link with the current test run id.

then the important thing is, what you do in that "webhook" endpoint.
you might need to differ between projects....and test runs...depending on the provided parameters (like uiscripts.context.run.id).
and depending on what you have to run.....you might just need to start the ranorex execution....or start the ranorex execution with additional parameters....thats up to you

phu i hope this makes sense :)

also, if you need to send test results back to testrail, i've created this easy nuget package. maybe it helps you
