Post Status Page Maintenance Update

Publishes an update to a maintenance on the page and to subscribers.

POST /api/status-pages/maintenances/{id}/updates

Adds a public update to a maintenance, before, during or after it.

Access

Organization admin and editor. A customer-scoped user or API token only reaches maintenance whose status pages all belong to a customer in its scope; a page without a customer (customerId: null) is for organization-wide roles only. Maintenance of another organization answers 404 (statusPageMaintenanceNotFound). Path ids take the numeric id or the publicId. The change is written to the organization's audit log.

Request Body

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
bodystringYes-The update text (1-5000 chars), shown on the public page.
