ProductBoard Feeds

Productboard is a product management platform that helps teams capture customer feedback, prioritize what to build, and share product plans through a public roadmap. The ProductBoard Feeds connector is a source-only ELT connector that ingests your Productboard workspace as a set of feeds. Select from objects such as features, notes, products, releases, users, components, and feature release assignments, and Nexla full-refreshes each selected feed on a schedule using the Productboard Public API.

  • API Proxy: Expose curated slices of your data securely with a secure and customizable API proxy that validates and transforms data on the fly
  • Request optimization with intelligent batching, retry, and caching to minimize API calls and costs

Prerequisites​

The ProductBoard Feeds connector authenticates to the Productboard Public API using a workspace access token sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Before creating a credential in Nexla, generate an access token from your Productboard workspace.

Access tokens are available on the Productboard Pro plan and above. If your workspace is on the Essentials plan, the API token option will not appear in your workspace settings.

To generate a Productboard access token:

  1. Sign in to your Productboard workspace with an account that has access to workspace settings.

  2. Open Settings and navigate to Integrations > Public APIs.

  3. In the Access Token section, click the + (add) button to generate a new token.

  4. Enter a descriptive name for the token so you can identify its purpose later, and confirm the token creation.

  5. Copy the generated token immediately and store it securely, such as in a password manager. Treat the token as a sensitive secret, because it grants API access to your Productboard workspace data.

Productboard API requests include an X-Version header to select the API version, and all requests are made against the base URL https://api.productboard.com. Nexla adds these headers automatically when ingesting feeds.

For more information, see the Productboard API token authentication guide and the Productboard API reference.

Credentials required​

Authenticate using ProductBoard API Bearer Token from workspace settings

API Bearer TokenYesYesProductBoard API access token from Workspace Settings > Integrations > Public APIs > Access Token. Requires Pro plan or above.

Create a credential in Nexla​

  1. After selecting the data source type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

  2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. Use them to identify the Productboard workspace or access level represented by this credential.

  3. Enter your Productboard access token in the API Bearer Token field. Nexla sends this token to Productboard as a Bearer token in the Authorization header when ingesting feeds, so it must be kept confidential.

  4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source creation and can be selected for use with ProductBoard Feeds flows.

How This Connector Works​

The ProductBoard Feeds connector is a source-only, whole-workspace ELT connector. Rather than configuring one endpoint at a time, you select the Productboard objects you want from a single catalog of feeds, and Nexla ingests each selected object as its own feed.

  • Discovery: When you create the source, Nexla discovers the objects (feeds) available from your Productboard workspace and presents them for selection.

  • Full refresh: Each selected feed is ingested using a full-refresh strategy, so every run reads the complete current set of records for that object. The id field is used as the primary key to uniquely identify records within each feed.

  • Parallel ingestion: Selected feeds are ingested in parallel, so a single source can pull many Productboard objects on the same schedule. Feeds that return paginated responses are read across all pages automatically, following the Productboard links.next pagination cursor.

Create a New Data Flow​

  1. To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, click the New Data Flow button, select the ELT flow type, and click Create.

  2. Select the ProductBoard Feeds connector tile from the list of available connectors. Then, select the credential that will be used to connect to the Productboard workspace and click Next; or, create a new ProductBoard Feeds credential for use in this flow.

Select the Objects to Ingest​

After authenticating, Nexla lists the Productboard objects available from the connector. Select one or more of the following objects to ingest. Each selected object becomes its own feed and is full-refreshed on the configured schedule.

  • Features — Features tracked in your Productboard workspace.

  • Notes — Customer feedback notes and insights.

  • Products — Products defined in the workspace.

  • Releases — Releases used to plan and group work.

  • Users — Users in the Productboard workspace.

  • Components — Components that organize features within products.

  • Feature Release Assignments — Assignments linking features to releases.

This connector ingests each selected feed using a full-refresh sync strategy, so every run reads the complete current set of records for the object. The id field is used as the primary key for each feed.

Schedule and Activate​

Use the default sync schedule or adjust the schedule in the source settings before activating the flow. On each run, every selected feed is full-refreshed. Nexla organizes the ingested data into one or more Nexsets.
