Can I have a Maintenance event created on a trigger from a Form being submitted?

Question

Hi everyone,

I would like to have it so that when someone submits a form for maintenance, there is automatically a maintenance event created on statuspage

Can you send us a screenshot of how far you are?

What API are you using?

According to the page, this is the API

POST

https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/{page_id}/incidents

And the payload you need to add to the automation

{
"incident": {
"name": "string",
"status": "investigating",
"impact_override": "none",
"scheduled_for": "2013-05-07T03:00:00.007Z",
"scheduled_until": "2013-05-07T06:00:00.007Z",
"scheduled_remind_prior": true,
"auto_transition_to_maintenance_state": true,
"auto_transition_to_operational_state": true,
"scheduled_auto_in_progress": true,
"scheduled_auto_completed": true,
"auto_transition_deliver_notifications_at_start": true,
"auto_transition_deliver_notifications_at_end": true,
"reminder_intervals": "string",
"metadata": {},
"deliver_notifications": true,
"auto_tweet_at_beginning": true,
"auto_tweet_on_completion": true,
"auto_tweet_on_creation": true,
"auto_tweet_one_hour_before": true,
"backfill_date": "string",
"backfilled": true,
"body": "string",
"components": {
"xhpqcyl96n6q": "operational"
},
"component_ids": [
"pfrdfmj5mn89"
],
"scheduled_auto_transition": true
}
}

Sadly, I don't have a Status page site to test this right now.

To test the API and payload, use Postman.

Thank you @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_ ! I am currently working on the Automation and i'm at the point of entering the web request and stuck.

Hi @Michelle Torres
