User File Associations

User File Associations in Mavenlink act as a join object between Users, Workspaces, and Attachments / Google Documents.

Fetching User File Associations

To fetch a paginated set of User File Associations for the requesting user, make a GET request as follows:

curl "https://api.mavenlink.com/api/v1/user_file_associations.json"

The resulting JSON will contain the User File Association data in the user_file_associations key at the root of the response. These results will be referenced in the results array, sorted by creation date. Each object will have the following fields:

• id - the internal user file association id
• post_id - the Mavenlink Post ID that the Attachment or Google Document is associated with
• workspace_id - the Workspace ID for the Post

Associated Objects

You can include User File Associations' associations with the include param. For example, to include the Workspace, Post, and associated Attachment or Google Document, request the following:

curl "https://api.mavenlink.com/api/v1/user_file_associations.json?include=post,workspace,asset_object"

In this example, our API will ensure that the returned JSON contains top-level keys called posts, workspaces, and one or both of attachments and google_documents, depending on what polymorphic assets were referenced. See Object Associations to learn more about how the Mavenlink API handles associations. The following associations can be requested on this endpoint:

• post - When included, the post_id will reference the Post for which the User File Association belongs.
• workspace - When included, the workspace_id will reference the Workspace for which the User File Association belongs.
• asset_object - When included, the polymorphic asset_object_ref struct will reference the Attachment or Google Document for which the User File Association belongs. This will be a a two-key JSON object with "id" and "key", where the "key" will be "attachments" or "google_documents".
