Queue 3
Link 9 features to Q3 growth objective in Productboard?
9 features match 'Q3 growth' filter · last linked 30d+ ago
Same batch shape as last quarter's objective alignment run
2 features flagged: initiative status still 'draft'
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Productboard automation
Roadmap changes in Productboard have a way of compounding quietly: a script links the wrong feature to an objective, a user gets deleted mid-sprint, and by the time you notice, three initiatives are pointing nowhere.
When Productboard runs unsupervised
Unsupervised Productboard automation doesn't fail loudly. It ships small structural changes that are hard to trace and harder to reverse.
- Update Features fires across the wrong feature set because the filter matched more records than expected.
- Delete User removes a collaborator who still owns open notes, and their context disappears with them.
- Create Objective-Feature Link posts a relationship before the initiative scope has been confirmed, skewing prioritization.
- Delete Key Result removes a metric tied to a live objective, breaking the scoring logic downstream.
- Set Company Field Value overwrites a custom field that a separate workflow was still reading.
What Rills does inside Productboard
Rills queues each proposed change, whether that's an Update Features batch, a Delete User request, or a Set Company Field Value write, and holds it until you decide. Nothing touches your roadmap structure until you've seen what the AI surfaced and why.
The feature link still gets created; you just see it before it goes out.
Why Productboard has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Productboard sends no native events to kick off workflows, so approve Productboard changes means setting up scheduled or upstream-driven patterns that poll for state and propose actions on a cadence you control.
- Schedule a nightly List Feature Initiatives poll to surface stale initiative-feature relationships and queue a Delete Feature Objective Link proposal for your review each morning.
- Run a weekly List Objective Linked Initiatives scan to catch objectives that have lost all linked work, then propose Update Features or Create Objective-Feature Link corrections before the next planning cycle.
- Trigger from an upstream product tool: when a sprint closes in your project tracker, Rills can propose the matching List Initiatives check and flag any key results via Delete Key Result that no longer map to active work.
- After a CRM sync, queue a Create Company in Productboard or Set Company Field Value proposal so new account data lands in your roadmap context only after you've confirmed the match is correct.

Common questions about Productboard automation
How do I automate Productboard feature and initiative linking?
Rills watches your workflow conditions and proposes the create or delete link action before it fires. You approve the change from your phone, and nothing in Productboard shifts until you say so. Routine links can graduate to autonomous once the confidence score earns it.
Can I get mobile approvals before Rills deletes a Productboard user?
Yes. Deleting a user is exactly the kind of action you want to review before it ships. Rills queues the proposed deletion to your mobile approval queue, shows you the context, and waits for your call. It will not fire until you swipe to approve.
How do I automate company record updates in Productboard without breaking things?
Rills proposes the Set Company Field Value or Update Company Custom Field action and holds it until you approve. If the data looks wrong, you reject it on your phone before it touches the record. Nothing customer-visible ships without your sign-off.
Can I automate adding note followers in Productboard without doing it myself?
Rills can propose Add Note Followers based on conditions you define, such as when a note matches a specific initiative or objective. The proposed action sits in your approval queue until you confirm. You keep the veto on every change.
How is Rills different from Zapier for Productboard automation?
Zapier fires actions automatically the moment a trigger hits. Rills proposes the action first and waits for your approval before anything ships. If you have ever watched an automated workflow update the wrong records across 200 companies, that difference matters. Rills is a check on the automation, not just a trigger.
Why use Rills instead of Make for Productboard?
Make runs scenarios on a schedule and ships whatever the logic says. Rills puts a human approval step between the proposed action and Productboard. You review from your phone, not a dashboard. For operations like deleting users or updating custom fields, that pause is the point.
Does Rills support Productboard webhooks for triggering workflows?
Productboard does not currently send events that trigger Rills workflows. Rills operates on the action side: proposing and executing operations like creating companies, linking objectives, or managing users. Your triggers come from other tools or scheduled conditions you configure in Rills.
How much does Rills cost for Productboard automation?
Approvals and workflow logic are free. You only pay when Rills executes a real action, such as an AI call or an external API operation inside Productboard. Reviewing a proposed user deletion or initiative link on your phone costs nothing. You pay for what actually ships, not for the decisions.
