Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses a search first approach to prevent backlog bloat. Before creating a new feature, the agent runs a semantic search across your existing Productboard features using keywords and descriptions. If it finds a high confidence match, it will not create a new feature. Instead, it creates a new piece of feedback and links it to the existing feature. This ensures that your priority scores increase naturally as more customers request the same thing, rather than having ten different entries for the same single request. You can adjust the confidence threshold in the workflow settings if you prefer more manual control over what constitutes a duplicate.
Yes. Ceven monitors the status field of your Productboard features. When a status changes to shipped, the agent triggers a lookup of all customers linked to that feature through feedback notes. It then crosses references those customers with your CRM to find their current contact email. The agent drafts a personalized notification explaining that the feature they requested is now live, including a link to the documentation. You can set this to be fully automatic or have the agent send the drafts to a Slack channel for a final human sign off before the emails are sent to your customers.
Ceven interacts primarily with the core Productboard API, which manages the internal product hierarchy and feedback. While it can push updates that eventually reflect in your public portal, it does not directly manage portal specific settings like visibility toggles or portal themes. The agent focuses on the data layer, meaning it can move a feature into a state that makes it visible on the portal, but you still handle the high level portal configuration and public facing branding within the Productboard UI. This separation ensures your public roadmap remains curated while the internal data flow stays automated.
Ceven uses OAuth2 to access your Productboard account. This means the agent operates with the permissions granted by the user who authorized the connection. If the authorizing user has admin rights, the agent can manage all features and feedback. If the user has restricted access, the agent will only be able to see or edit the items that the user can access. We recommend using a dedicated service account with the appropriate scope to ensure that the agent has consistent access to the necessary boards without being tied to a single employee's personal account lifecycle or individual permission changes.
Productboard enforces strict rate limits on their API to ensure platform stability. If your workflow involves bulk importing thousands of feedback notes at once, you might hit these limits, which will cause the agent to receive a 429 error. Ceven handles this by implementing an automatic exponential backoff strategy. The agent will pause and retry the request at increasing intervals until the rate limit resets. While this prevents data loss, it means that very large bulk updates may take longer to complete than a few individual updates. We recommend batching large imports during off peak hours.
Absolutely. You can build a workflow where Ceven pulls a list of all features in a specific roadmap, along with their priority scores and linked customer counts, and writes them into a Google Sheet or Airtable. This is useful for weekly executive reporting where you need a snapshot of the product direction without giving every stakeholder direct access to Productboard. The agent can be scheduled to run this every Monday morning, ensuring your leadership team always has the most current view of the product backlog and the evidence supporting the current priorities.
Yes, the agent uses the context of the feedback text to assign tags in Productboard. You can provide the agent with a list of your existing tags and their definitions. When a new piece of feedback arrives, the agent analyzes the sentiment and the specific request, then applies the most relevant tags. For example, if a customer mentions a bug with the login screen, the agent can apply both the bug and authentication tags. This eliminates the manual triage process and ensures that your feedback is organized and searchable from the moment it enters the system.
Ceven treats them as distinct but linked entities. A feature is the high level solution, while a note is the specific instance of customer feedback. When the agent processes a support ticket, it first checks if a relevant feature exists. If it does, it creates a note and links it. If it does not, it creates both the feature and the note and links them together. This maintains a clean one to many relationship in Productboard, allowing you to see exactly how many individual customers are asking for a specific improvement, which is critical for accurate prioritization.
