Core Problems Addressed

  • Automatically synchronize dispersed product information from Productboard, eliminating the complexity and errors of manual export-import processes.
  • Unify and structure product notes, company, and feature data for easier subsequent data analysis and reporting.
  • Monitor newly added and unresolved insight notes in real time, improving product management and decision-making efficiency.
  • Integrate Slack notifications to ensure team members are promptly informed of product data updates.

Use Cases

  • Product management teams needing to regularly sync product feedback, feature planning, and customer information from Productboard into the enterprise data warehouse.
  • Data analysts performing cross-system data integration and in-depth analysis based on product data stored in Snowflake.
  • Organizations requiring automated monitoring of product insight updates and unresolved statuses to enhance response speed.
  • Teams wishing to receive real-time product data update alerts through Slack channels.

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Scheduled Trigger: Initiate the workflow at a specified weekly time via a schedule trigger.
  2. Data Cleanup: Clear the PRODUCTBOARD_NOTES, PRODUCTBOARD_COMPANIES, PRODUCTBOARD_FEATURES, and related tables in Snowflake to ensure fresh data loading.
  3. Data Extraction: Call the Productboard API to paginate through and retrieve all companies, notes, and feature data.
  4. Data Splitting and Mapping: Process the retrieved data by splitting and mapping fields to standardize the data format.
  5. Data Loading: Batch insert the mapped data into the corresponding Snowflake tables.
  6. Statistical Analysis: Calculate the number of new notes added and unresolved notes in the past 7 days within Snowflake.
  7. Slack Notification: Push the statistical results along with a Metabase dashboard link to a designated Slack channel.

Involved Systems or Services

  • Productboard API: Source for company, notes, and feature data extraction.
  • Snowflake: Data warehouse for storage and querying.
  • Slack: Channel for weekly reports and update notifications.
  • Metabase (linked): External integration for data visualization dashboards.

Target Users and Value

  • Product managers and product operations teams: Automatically obtain comprehensive and up-to-date product insight data to support product decision-making.
  • Data engineers and analysts: Simplify data synchronization workflows while ensuring data consistency and availability.
  • Enterprise executives and related business units: Gain instant visibility into product data dynamics via Slack, enhancing cross-department collaboration.
