# Trigger maintenance run

`POST /maintenance/{maintenanceRunID}/trigger`

Trigger the scheduled maintenance run with the provided ID.

Triggering maintenance is asynchronous. To check whether maintenance has started, use the [Retrieve maintenance run](https://api-docs.render.com/reference/retrieve-maintenance) endpoint.

As maintenance progresses, the run's `state` will change from `scheduled` to other values, such as `in_progress` and `succeeded`.
