MaintainX
· #512 most-usedPut your maintenance operations on autopilot
MaintainX is the mobile-first maintenance management platform (CMMS) built for industrial and facility teams — used to manage work orders, preventive maintenance schedules, asset registers, and inspection records. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and update work orders from any trigger source, register new assets and locations, post work order comments for audit trails, listen for status changes, and route completion notifications to Slack or Google Sheets — without anyone manually bridging the gap between the maintenance team and the rest of the business.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate manual work order creation, status chasing, cost report extraction, and cross-system data entry — the tasks that consume the most planner and coordinator time in a maintenance operation.
What your MaintainX agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
MaintainX × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Slack maintenance request auto-logged as a categorised work order
When a team member posts a maintenance request in #facilities, the agent checks for an existing open work order for that asset, creates a new one if needed with the correct priority and category applied, and posts the work order number back into the Slack thread — turning an informal message into a trackable maintenance record within about a minute.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.
What you do manually today
What your agent runs for you
- Sales30 min / weekManual CRM-to-CMMS fault logging
Account managers copy fault details from the CRM into a maintenance request email, which a planner then manually enters into MaintainX — introducing a delay and a risk of transcription errors.
Sales Agent0 minAgent logs customer faults as work requests automaticallyWhen a customer reports an equipment fault via the CRM, the agent creates a MaintainX work request with the asset details and customer location — the support record and maintenance record are linked from the moment the fault is reported.
- Marketing60 min / weekManual maintenance data extraction for marketing
The marketing team requests maintenance performance reports from the operations manager, waits for the export, and manually updates case study content with figures that are already weeks old by the time they're published.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent pulls maintenance performance data for marketing automaticallyThe Marketing Agent retrieves completed work order metrics from MaintainX weekly and updates the asset library with current reliability data — case studies always cite accurate figures without a manual data pull.
- Customer Support75 min / weekManual ticket-to-work-order conversion
Support agents email fault details to the maintenance team, who then manually create a work order in MaintainX — a process that takes 10–15 minutes per ticket and often results in incomplete or inaccurate work orders.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent converts support tickets to work orders within about a minuteWhen a customer support ticket describes a hardware fault, the agent creates a MaintainX work order with the asset, location, and fault description — the maintenance team is assigned before the support agent finishes updating the ticket.
- Human Resources20 min / weekManual equipment asset registration for new hires
HR sends an equipment list to the IT team, who manually enter each item into the CMMS — often after the employee has already arrived, leaving an asset register gap in the first days of employment.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent registers new hire equipment as assets before day oneWhen a new hire is confirmed, the HR Agent creates asset records in MaintainX for each piece of assigned equipment, giving IT and facilities a formal register before the employee arrives.
- Finance45 min / weekManual maintenance cost report preparation
The finance team requests a maintenance cost report from the operations manager, who manually exports completed work orders from MaintainX and formats the data into a spreadsheet — a process that takes 2–3 hours per month.
Finance Agent0 minAgent compiles maintenance cost reports from MaintainX weeklyThe Finance Agent retrieves completed work order data from MaintainX, extracts cost-related fields, and writes a structured maintenance cost summary to the finance spreadsheet — the report is ready before the budget review meeting.
- Operations120 min / weekManual work order creation and status tracking

Operations Agent0 minAgent creates and tracks all maintenance work orders automaticallyThe Operations Agent creates preventive and reactive work orders, posts completion summaries to Slack, and logs all job data to Google Sheets — the maintenance operation runs with minimal manual input from the planning team.
- Legal40 min / weekManual statutory inspection scheduling
The legal team manually tracks inspection deadlines in a spreadsheet, emails the maintenance planner to create work orders, and follows up to confirm they've been created — a process prone to deadline misses when the planner is busy.
Legal Agent0 minAgent creates statutory inspection work orders before deadlinesThe Legal Agent creates compliance work orders in MaintainX with regulatory citations and categories applied, ensuring every statutory inspection has a formal maintenance record before the deadline — automatically.
