Securely authenticate your integration using a scoped API token for the Blogs API. Use the provided API Key or OAuth client to access endpoints such as creating posts, fetching categories, and checking slugs, ensuring the token has read and write permissions where required.
MaintainX uses its own secure authentication flow. Configure your API key or OAuth credentials in your workspace to enable calls to Blogs API endpoints from MaintainX automations.
Core endpoints you may use include: GET emails/builder for reading email templates; POST emails/builder for creating templates; POST /emails/builder/data to populate templates; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId to remove templates; GET emails/schedule to review schedules; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability; POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts; GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch metadata; and GET /blogs/posts to retrieve posts. Also include blogs/check-slug.readonly for slug validation and blogs/author.readonly and blogs/category.readonly for metadata.
Trigger: when a maintenance task is completed or a new asset check generates content, create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: build the post content, set title and slug, assign author and category, and publish via the Blogs API.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, category, tags, slug, publishDate
Trigger: an incoming email routed through the Emails Builder triggers a new blog draft.
Actions: parse subject and body, create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts, then publish or queue for review.
POST emails/builder
subject, body, from, to, templateId
Trigger: scheduled jobs in MaintainX pull or push blog data on a regular interval.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, status, lastUpdated, publishDate

This glossary defines essential terms and processes used in the Blogs API and MaintainX integration.
A piece of content published on a blog, including a title, body, author, and metadata such as category and slug.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the blog URL.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that performs a function within an API.
A time-based trigger that controls when actions occur, such as posting or updating content.
Map checklist items and maintenance notes to blog sections to publish proactive maintenance updates.
Pull task lists and upcoming releases to automatically generate product update blogs.
Use incoming emails to create timely announcements as blog posts.
Acquire API keys from Blogs API and configure in MaintainX.
Map fields and set up triggers such as new post, updated post, etc.
Run end-to-end tests and monitor for errors.
No traditional coding is required for this integration. Use the pre-built actions and triggers to connect MaintainX with Blogs API. Start by authenticating and then select the endpoints you need (for example, create posts or fetch categories).
For basic publishing you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. You may also need GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata.
Map fields such as title, body, author, category, and slug from your MaintainX data to the corresponding Blogs API post fields. Use the mapping UI to align each field so that updates propagate accurately.
Slug existence can be checked using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug already exists, you can generate a new slug or append a timestamp before publishing.
Authors and categories can be managed through /blogs/authors and /blogs/categories endpoints. You can pull metadata into MaintainX for consistent tagging and attribution without coding.
Integration logs are accessible in your platform’s monitoring section. Look for webhook events, API call responses, and error messages to troubleshoot issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
