Miro Integration Guide
Connect Miro boards and selected board-item events with enterprise applications through REST APIs, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, and Martini workflows.
Miro integration options at a glance
Miro’s primary server-side integration mechanism is its REST API, which manages boards, items, users, teams, members, and related resources through JSON requests and responses. OAuth 2.0 provides scoped authorization, while webhooks offer selected board and item notifications rather than a universal event stream. Miro also supports file and image-related board items with endpoint-specific limits. Martini can consume the REST API, receive webhook requests through an exposed API, paginate collections, map polymorphic item types, and orchestrate scheduled reconciliation. It can also expose a controlled internal API that hides Miro credentials and applies enterprise business rules.
| Integration point | Supported by Miro? | Common use cases | How Martini supports it |
|---|---|---|---|
| REST APIs | Yes | Manage boards, board items, users, teams, members, projects, and related Miro resources using JSON requests and responses. Collection endpoints support paginated retrieval. | Martini can consume Miro REST endpoints from workflows, apply query and path parameters, map JSON payloads, expose internal REST APIs, and orchestrate calls across target systems. |
| Webhooks / outbound callbacks | Limited | Receive selected board and item lifecycle notifications, including supported item creation, modification, and deletion events. Coverage is not universal across Miro operations or resource types. | Martini can expose an API endpoint for Miro webhook requests, validate and deduplicate notifications, retrieve authoritative resource state, and route the result through workflows. |
| Authentication | Yes | OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow provides scoped access tokens representing the authorizing Miro user. Access depends on application scopes and Miro permissions. | Martini can store client credentials and tokens in secure environment configuration, invoke authenticated REST requests, and isolate authentication logic in reusable workflows. |
| File / attachment APIs | Limited | Create or manage supported file and image-related board items. Availability, upload behavior, formats, sizes, and permissions depend on the specific Miro operation. | Martini can validate file metadata, transform or route supported payloads, call the relevant Miro endpoint, and handle endpoint-specific failures without treating Miro as an unrestricted document repository. |
| Pagination and incremental synchronization | Yes | Enumerate boards, items, teams, and other collections across multiple pages. Webhooks can reduce polling for selected changes but do not provide complete change-data capture. | Martini can loop through paginated responses, persist checkpoints and external identifiers, combine webhook triggers with REST reads, and run periodic reconciliation workflows. |
| Miro Web SDK | Yes | Build browser-based applications running in the Miro environment and interacting with the active board or user context. It is distinct from server-to-server REST integration. | Martini can expose APIs for a custom Miro app’s browser component, while backend workflows use the Miro REST API and selected webhook events for orchestration. |
| Bulk / async / batch APIs | Not confirmed | Pagination is documented for collection retrieval, but a general-purpose public bulk or asynchronous REST API was not confirmed in the research. | Martini can implement controlled pagination and scheduled batching at the workflow level without assuming a Miro bulk API. |
| Database / analytics access | No | Miro does not expose direct database connectivity or general-purpose database access as an integration mechanism. | Martini can persist synchronization state in an appropriate enterprise database, but it should access Miro through the documented API rather than a direct database connection. |
How Miro exposes data and business events
Miro REST APIs
Miro’s REST API is the principal server-side integration interface for boards, items, users, teams, members, projects, and related resources. It uses resource-oriented requests, JSON payloads, bearer authorization, path and query parameters, and pagination for collections.
Martini implementation pattern
Martini implementation pattern: a workflow calls the required Miro endpoint with OAuth 2.0 credentials, follows pagination links or cursors as applicable, validates the response, maps the resource into a canonical model, and writes it to one or more target systems. Reusable workflows can encapsulate authentication, pagination, and Miro-specific error handling.
Implementation sequence
Miro Webhooks
Miro supports webhook-style notifications for selected board and item events, such as supported item creation, modification, or deletion. Coverage depends on event type, application configuration, permissions, and scopes, so webhooks are not a universal event stream.
Martini implementation pattern
Martini implementation pattern: expose a Martini API endpoint for the webhook, validate the request, record an event key for deduplication, and retrieve the current board or item through the REST API when the notification does not contain sufficient authoritative data. The workflow then maps and routes the result.
Implementation sequence
Miro OAuth 2.0
Miro uses OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow for production application authorization. Access tokens represent the authorizing user, while configured scopes and Miro permissions constrain access to boards, users, teams, and content.
Martini implementation pattern
Martini implementation pattern: keep Miro client credentials, access tokens, and refresh credentials where applicable in secure environment configuration. Workflows use the resulting bearer token for REST requests and return authorization failures to controlled error handling rather than exposing secrets in logs.
Implementation sequence
Miro File and Image Items
Miro supports file and image-related board content, but supported formats, sizes, hosting behavior, upload methods, and permissions depend on the specific item operation. These capabilities should be designed as targeted content handling rather than unrestricted document storage.
Martini implementation pattern
Martini implementation pattern: validate the source file or image metadata, apply size and format rules, call the appropriate Miro operation, and persist the resulting item identifier. Workflows can route unsupported files to an archive or review process and record endpoint-specific errors.
Implementation sequence
Miro Web SDK applications
The Miro Web SDK supports browser-based applications operating within the Miro environment and interacting with active board or user context. It is distinct from the backend REST API and is most relevant when a custom Miro application has a user-facing component.
Martini implementation pattern
Martini implementation pattern: a custom Miro app uses its browser component to call controlled Martini APIs, while Martini performs backend authorization, validation, REST API calls, mapping, and target-system orchestration. This keeps sensitive integration logic outside the browser where appropriate.
Implementation sequence
Common Miro integration patterns
Pattern 1: Sync Miro items to Jira
When to use this pattern
Use this pattern when cards, sticky notes, or other approved Miro content should become Jira issues. Selected Miro events provide responsiveness, while REST retrieval supplies the current item and board context. Item type, required fields, and workflow status should be governed by explicit mapping rules.
Integration direction
Example Mapping
| Miro Field | Canonical Field | Target Field |
|---|---|---|
| Miro item id | sourceItemId | External reference |
| Miro item data.title | workItemTitle | Summary |
| Miro item data.description | workItemDescription | Description |
| Miro board id | sourceBoardId | Board reference |
Martini implementation pattern
Martini receives a selected Miro webhook, validates and deduplicates it, retrieves the current item, and branches the mapping by item type. It looks up the source-to-Jira correlation, creates or updates the issue, and retries transient failures without creating duplicates. Deleted items are mapped to an agreed Jira resolution or inactive state.
Martini capabilities used
- workflows
- API consumption
- webhook receiving
- data mapping
- business rules
- error handling
- idempotency
Pattern 2: Project work into a Miro planning board
When to use this pattern
Use this pattern when project-management work should be represented visually on a Miro board. A scheduled workflow reads approved issues, converts their status and priority into board-item properties, and updates existing Miro items using a correlation table rather than creating a new card on every run.
Integration direction
Example Mapping
| Miro Field | Canonical Field | Target Field |
|---|---|---|
| Jira issue.key | sourceWorkId | Correlation metadata |
| Jira summary | workTitle | Miro card content |
| Jira status.name | workStatus | Miro card status label |
| Jira priority.name | workPriority | Miro card priority |
Martini implementation pattern
A scheduler starts the Martini workflow, which retrieves changed Jira issues, normalizes the fields, and resolves the target board and existing Miro item. Business rules determine whether to create, update, or archive an item. The workflow persists both identifiers and uses bounded retries for rate-limit or transient API responses.
Martini capabilities used
- scheduled workflows
- API consumption
- data transformation
- correlation storage
- business rules
- retry handling
Pattern 3: Export Miro boards for archival
When to use this pattern
Use this pattern when selected boards and their content must be exported to a structured archive, file destination, or database. The design should define supported item types and represent cards, text, images, files, connectors, and frames deliberately rather than flattening all content into one generic structure.
Integration direction
Example Mapping
| Miro Field | Canonical Field | Target Field |
|---|---|---|
| Miro board id | boardId | archive.board_id |
| Miro item id | itemId | archive.item_id |
| Miro item type | itemType | archive.item_type |
| Miro item content | content | archive.content_json |
Martini implementation pattern
A scheduled Martini workflow enumerates boards and paginated item collections, filters approved boards and item types, and transforms each response into JSON or a database model. It records a checkpoint and source identifiers, handles files and images according to explicit policy, and reports partial failures for replay.
Martini capabilities used
- scheduled workflows
- pagination orchestration
- JSON handling
- data mapping
- database integration
- checkpointing
- error handling
Pattern 4: Expose a controlled Miro API façade
When to use this pattern
Use this pattern when multiple internal applications need a limited set of Miro operations without separately implementing OAuth, pagination, permission checks, and Miro-specific error handling. The façade can constrain boards, item types, fields, and actions exposed to consumers.
Integration direction
Example Mapping
| Miro Field | Canonical Field | Target Field |
|---|---|---|
| request.boardId | authorizedBoardId | Miro path boardId |
| request.itemType | approvedItemType | Miro item type |
| request.content | normalizedContent | Miro item payload |
| request.correlationId | requestId | Audit and idempotency key |
Martini implementation pattern
Martini exposes a REST API that authenticates the caller, validates the requested board and operation, applies field mappings and business rules, and invokes Miro with secured OAuth credentials. The workflow normalizes errors, records correlation identifiers, and returns a stable internal response independent of Miro-specific details.
Martini capabilities used
- API exposure
- authentication and authorization
- workflows
- data validation
- data mapping
- business rules
- error normalization
Applications commonly integrated with Miro
Miro can be connected with collaboration, project-management, knowledge, customer, and service platforms when visual workshop content needs to drive structured work or when enterprise context needs to be presented on a board. The exact synchronization scope should be defined around supported Miro resources, permissions, item types, and the target application’s API.
| Application | Scenario | Direction | Martini Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jira | Synchronize Miro planning or discovery items with Jira issues and connect visual workshops with delivery work. | Miro → Martini → Jira | Receive selected Miro item events, retrieve the current item, map it to a Jira issue, and maintain a Miro item-to-Jira issue correlation for idempotent updates. A scheduled workflow can optionally read Jira status changes and update corresponding Miro cards. |
| Slack | Notify project channels about board activity, distribute workshop links, and route controlled collaboration requests. | Miro → Martini → Slack | Use Miro webhook notifications as workflow triggers, enrich them with board and item details from the REST API, and send formatted messages to Slack through its supported API. Apply board filters and suppress duplicate notifications. |
| Microsoft Teams | Share Miro board context in team or meeting channels and notify participants about relevant board activity. | Miro → Martini → Microsoft Teams | Receive selected Miro events, apply business rules for board and team routing, and publish concise activity messages to Microsoft Teams. Martini can also expose an internal endpoint for controlled Teams-initiated actions. |
| Google Drive | Make supporting documents available to board participants or archive selected Miro exports and related content. | Google Drive → Martini → Miro | A scheduled workflow retrieves approved files or metadata from Google Drive, validates the content and permissions, and creates supported Miro file or image items. For archival, Martini reads selected board content and writes a structured export to Google Drive. |
| Salesforce | Connect customer journey maps, account planning boards, and workshop outcomes with Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, or Cases. | Salesforce → Martini → Miro | Read approved Salesforce objects, transform them into Miro cards or other supported items, and maintain correlation identifiers. Miro events can be filtered and mapped back to selected Salesforce objects when workshop outcomes are structured and approved. |
| ServiceNow | Convert approved workshop outputs into service work while giving service teams relevant Miro board context. | Miro → Martini → ServiceNow | Classify Miro cards or notes according to agreed business rules, validate required fields, and create or update ServiceNow work through its API. Store both identifiers and route invalid or incomplete outcomes for review. |
| Zoom | Associate meeting or workshop context with Miro boards and distribute board links and activity to participants. | Zoom → Martini → Miro | Use meeting metadata or approved events as a trigger, resolve the related Miro board, and write links or supporting items through the Miro REST API. Apply access checks before exposing board information to meeting participants. |
| Confluence | Publish selected workshop results, decisions, and structured board exports into team knowledge spaces. | Miro → Martini → Confluence | Enumerate approved boards and items, normalize polymorphic content into a structured document model, and create or update Confluence pages. Use a correlation store to prevent duplicate pages and preserve source board and item identifiers. |
How to build a Miro integration in Martini
Objective
Establish the Miro application authorization model and secure the credentials needed for REST API calls.
Instructions in Martini
- Configure OAuth 2.0 with the minimum required Miro scopes
- Store client credentials, access tokens, and refresh credentials where applicable in Martini secrets or secure environment configuration
- Confirm the authorizing user, team membership, and board permissions
Objective
Select an event-driven, scheduled, or API-led entry point based on Miro’s partial webhook coverage and synchronization requirements.
Instructions in Martini
- Use a Martini API to receive selected Miro webhook notifications
- Use a scheduler for full exports, reconciliation, or systems that do not provide a suitable event
- Use an exposed Martini REST API when internal applications need controlled Miro operations
Objective
Obtain the authoritative Miro resource and all required collection pages before transformation.
Instructions in Martini
- Validate webhook requests and deduplicate notifications
- Retrieve the current board or item after a webhook when the payload is incomplete
- Follow pagination for boards, items, teams, or other collections
- Persist checkpoints, board IDs, item IDs, and source timestamps where available
Objective
Coordinate Miro reads, target-system calls, state management, and failure paths in a maintainable Martini workflow.
Instructions in Martini
- Separate Miro-specific API calls from target-system operations using reusable workflow logic
- Branch by Miro item type because cards, sticky notes, files, connectors, and frames have different fields
- Apply concurrency and retry limits to avoid repeated updates to the same board or item
Objective
Convert Miro’s polymorphic JSON resources into a canonical model suitable for the target application or archive.
Instructions in Martini
- Preserve Miro board ID, item ID, item type, and relevant source metadata
- Map content, position, links, ownership, and status according to the target model
- Represent unsupported or unknown fields deliberately for forward compatibility
- Transform file and image content only when the endpoint and enterprise policy permit it
Objective
Enforce permissions, routing, item-type, data-quality, and lifecycle rules before writing to downstream systems.
Instructions in Martini
- Restrict processing to approved boards, teams, event types, and item types
- Determine whether each operation is a create, update, archive, or delete transition
- Validate required target fields and reject or quarantine incomplete workshop outcomes
- Avoid logging confidential board content or OAuth credentials
Common Miro data objects used in integrations
| Object | Typical Use | Common target systems | Martini handling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boards | Identify collaborative canvases, retrieve board context, enumerate content, and scope synchronization or webhook processing. | Jira, Microsoft Teams, Confluence, Google Drive, internal databases | Martini stores the board ID and relevant permissions context, retrieves board data through the REST API, and uses board-level rules to route workflows. |
| Items | Represent cards, sticky notes, shapes, text, images, files, connectors, frames, and related visual content. | Jira, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, Confluence | Martini branches mappings by item type, preserves board and item identifiers, retrieves current state after notifications, and applies create-versus-update rules. |
| Users | Represent people who own, access, or collaborate on Miro boards and authorize API operations. | Identity directories, Salesforce, ServiceNow, collaboration platforms | Martini uses user information for ownership, routing, authorization context, and enrichment while respecting OAuth scopes and returned permissions. |
| Teams | Represent Miro workspaces or organizational groups containing users and boards. | Identity platforms, collaboration platforms, internal governance stores | Martini synchronizes approved team metadata, applies organization-specific routing rules, and avoids assuming that all team data is available to every token. |
| Board members | Represent users with access to a particular board and an associated role or permission level. | Identity governance systems, internal access databases, collaboration platforms | Martini can retrieve and validate membership information before processing board data or granting downstream access. |
| Projects | Group boards into organizational containers where project organization is available through the API. | Project-management platforms, portfolio stores, knowledge platforms | Martini maps project identifiers and names to approved target structures and treats availability as dependent on the Miro account and API resource support. |
Authentication and security considerations
OAuth 2.0 and scoped access
Miro’s recommended production authorization model is OAuth 2.0. Access tokens represent the authorizing Miro user, while application scopes, team membership, board membership, and board permissions determine what the workflow can read or change.
Protect credentials and content
- Store Miro client credentials, tokens, and refresh credentials where applicable in Martini secrets or secure environment configuration.
- Request only the scopes required for the integration.
- Do not embed credentials in workflows or write tokens and confidential board content to logs.
- Test with representative users and board permissions before production deployment.
Operational considerations for Miro integrations
Reliability controls
- Follow pagination for collection endpoints and persist checkpoints for long-running synchronization.
- Use bounded retries with backoff for transient failures and respect Miro rate limits.
- Deduplicate webhook and scheduled processing with board IDs, item IDs, source identifiers, and event identifiers where available.
- Treat webhooks as triggers and retrieve current state from the REST API to handle incomplete, duplicated, or out-of-order notifications.
Data and schema controls
- Branch mappings by item type because Miro content is polymorphic.
- Define deletion behavior and preserve identifiers needed to remove or deactivate downstream objects.
- Confirm file and image size, format, upload, hosting, and permission constraints for each endpoint.
- Test scopes, permissions, pagination, rate limits, item-type variation, schema changes, and representative boards before release.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestrate beyond a script
Martini provides a maintainable workflow layer for combining Miro REST calls, selected webhook triggers, scheduled reconciliation, target-system APIs, databases, and file processing. This avoids embedding all synchronization logic in a single custom script or duplicating Miro-specific behavior across point-to-point integrations.
Control and reuse integration logic
- Expose a controlled internal API that hides Miro credentials and standardizes responses.
- Reuse authentication, pagination, mapping, validation, business rules, and error handling across workflows.
- Keep correlation, retry, and reconciliation logic explicit for reliable synchronization.
- Use environment configuration and workflow monitoring to support controlled deployment and troubleshooting.
Frequently asked questions
Miro can be integrated through its REST API, OAuth 2.0 authorization, selected board and item webhooks, and targeted file or image item operations. Enterprise workflows commonly combine webhook triggers with paginated REST API reads and scheduled reconciliation to synchronize boards, items, users, teams, and related content.
Yes. Martini can consume the Miro REST API, receive selected Miro webhook notifications through an exposed API, authenticate using securely managed OAuth 2.0 credentials, map Miro’s JSON resources, and orchestrate workflows to enterprise applications or databases.
No. A dedicated Miro connector is not required. Martini can integrate with Miro using Miro’s native REST APIs, selected webhook notifications, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and supported file or image operations.
Lonti does not charge an additional per-connector or per-vendor fee to integrate Miro with Martini. The integration is subject to the provisioned capacity of the Martini environment. Separate costs may apply from Miro, infrastructure providers, or other third-party systems depending on subscriptions, usage, and deployment model.
Use the Miro REST API as the primary server-side interface and OAuth 2.0 with minimum required scopes for authorization. Use webhooks for selected board and item changes, but combine them with REST API retrieval and periodic reconciliation because webhook coverage is not universal. Miro GraphQL and SOAP APIs were not confirmed or supported in the research.
Yes, for the selected Miro board and item events supported by the application and its permissions. Martini can expose an API endpoint, validate and deduplicate the notification, retrieve the current resource, and route the result. Webhooks should be treated as triggers rather than a complete change-data-capture stream.
A synchronization workflow can enumerate paginated collections, store checkpoints and external identifiers, and use webhooks to reduce polling for selected changes. Miro items should be mapped by type because cards, sticky notes, text, shapes, images, files, connectors, and frames have different fields. Correlation records preserve Miro board and item IDs for reliable updates.
Martini workflows can validate requests, apply bounded retries and backoff for transient failures, and record processing status for replay. Idempotency should use Miro board and item IDs, source-system identifiers, and available event keys so webhook retries or scheduled reruns do not create duplicate downstream objects. Rate limits, permission failures, pagination errors, and unsupported item types should have separate handling paths.
