Connect Productive to Unblockd.

Bring your Productive work in as tasks under the deliverable it belongs to. Status follows Productive, and stuck work flags a blocker for your team.

What it reads

Link the Productive projects each Unblockd project needs. You pick which items to bring in, up to 50 at a time, and each one becomes a task under a deliverable with a link back to Productive.

In Productive

Project tasks; a Blocked status flags a blocker.

How it stays current

Unblockd reads your linked projects again when someone opens a project’s Sources tab and the last read is more than 10 minutes old, whenever you press Sync now, and once a day.

How you connect

An admin pastes the organization id and api token from Productive once for the whole workspace. Unblockd checks it with Productive before saving anything. Unblockd reads your work in Productive and leaves it as it is. The key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it’s stored.

What your sponsor sees

Your sponsor sees each deliverable’s progress. The tasks you bring in, and any blocker they flag, stay with your team until someone chooses to share them.

How teams use it

What happens to Productive work once it’s connected, from the first link to your sponsor’s page.

  1. Plan in Productive, report from UnblockdLink the Productive project for a project and bring its items in under the deliverables they serve, up to 50 at a time. Each task keeps a link back to Productive, and its status follows Productive from then on.
  2. Stuck work becomes an askIn Productive, a Blocked status flags a blocker. Unblockd opens it for your team only and alerts your team’s chat channels if you’ve connected any. Someone confirms it and turns it into an ask for the sponsor: a decision with options, or a request for help.
  3. Acceptance stays with your teamA task marked done in Productive finishes here too, unless it still needs a sign-off. The deliverable itself is accepted only once its evidence is attached, and your sponsor is emailed only when a person on your team accepts it.
  4. New items arrive on their own, if you wantAn admin can turn on automatic import, so new open items in a linked project arrive as tasks under the deliverable chosen for it, up to 25 per sync.
