Core Workflows

1. Manage Customer Notes

Create notes from customer feedback and organize them with tags, links, and followers.

Tools: PRODUCTBOARD_CREATE_NOTE, PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_NOTES, PRODUCTBOARD_ADD_NOTE_TAG, PRODUCTBOARD_ADD_NOTE_FOLLOWERS, PRODUCTBOARD_CREATE_NOTE_LINK

Create a note titled "Mobile app crash report" with content from customer feedback, tagged "bug" and linked to feature abc-123

Key parameters for PRODUCTBOARD_CREATE_NOTE:

• title (required) and content (required) -- note title and body
• customer_email or user.email -- attribute to a customer/user
• tags -- array of tag strings for categorization
• display_url -- URL linked from the note title
• source -- origin system with origin and record_id
• company -- associate with a company

Key parameters for PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_NOTES:

• createdFrom / createdTo -- ISO 8601 date range
• last -- relative time window (e.g., "6m", "10d", "24h")
• term -- full-text search by title or content
• allTags / anyTag -- filter by tags (cannot combine both)
• featureId, companyId, ownerEmail, source -- entity filters
• pageLimit (max 100) / pageCursor -- pagination

2. Browse and Retrieve Features

List all features/subfeatures and retrieve detailed information.

Tools: PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURES, PRODUCTBOARD_RETRIEVE_FEATURE

List the first 50 features in Productboard, then get details on feature abc-def-123

• PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURES supports pageLimit (default 100) and pageOffset for pagination
• PRODUCTBOARD_RETRIEVE_FEATURE requires feature id (UUID) to get complete details

3. Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)

List objectives, view feature-objective links, and browse key results.

Tools: PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_OBJECTIVES, PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURE_OBJECTIVES, PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_KEY_RESULTS

Show me all in-progress objectives owned by alice@example.com

Key parameters for PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_OBJECTIVES:

• status.name -- filter by status (e.g., "In Progress")
• owner.email -- filter by owner email
• parent.id -- filter by parent objective
• archived -- filter by archived state

PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURE_OBJECTIVES:

• Requires id (UUID) of a top-level feature (not subfeatures)
• Supports pageCursor for pagination

4. Component Management

List product components for organizing features and the product hierarchy.

Tool: PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_COMPONENTS

List all components in our Productboard workspace

• Supports page_limit and page_offset for pagination
• Follow links.next for additional pages

5. Release Tracking

View feature-release assignments with state and date filters.

Tool: PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURE_RELEASE_ASSIGNMENTS

Show all active release assignments for feature abc-123

• Filter by feature.id, release.id, release.state (planned, active, closed)
• Date range filters: release.timeframe.endDate.from and release.timeframe.endDate.to (YYYY-MM-DD)

6. Link Notes to Features

Connect customer feedback notes to product features for insight aggregation.

Tool: PRODUCTBOARD_CREATE_NOTE_LINK

Link note 3fa85f64-5717 to feature 1b6c8c76-8f5d for tracking

• Requires noteId (UUID) and entityId (UUID of feature, component, or product)
• Use after creating notes to ensure feedback is connected to the right product areas

Known Pitfalls

• Top-level features only for objectives: PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURE_OBJECTIVES only works with top-level feature IDs, not subfeature IDs. Use PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_FEATURES to identify which features are top-level.
• Tag filter exclusivity: allTags and anyTag cannot be combined in PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_NOTES. Choose one filter strategy per query.
• Relative vs. absolute dates: The last parameter (e.g., "24h") cannot be combined with createdFrom/createdTo in PRODUCTBOARD_LIST_NOTES. Use one approach, not both.
• Cursor-based pagination: Follow links.next or use pageCursor from responses for multi-page results. Offset-based and cursor-based pagination are used on different endpoints -- check each tool.
• Note attribution: Either user.email or customer_email must be provided in PRODUCTBOARD_CREATE_NOTE to attribute feedback. Without it, the note will have no customer association.
• UUID formats required: All entity IDs (features, notes, components) must be valid UUIDs. Passing malformed IDs causes 400 errors.
