Summary of benefits
- Productboard's Pivotal Tracker integration allows you to push your Productboard features and subfeatures into Pivotal Tracker and get status changes back.
- Map Productboard feature to Pivotal Tracker epics and Productboard subfeatures to Pivotal Tracker stories.
- Use auto-generated links to quickly navigate from a Pivotal Tracker issue to a Productboard feature (or vice versa).
Getting the Pivotal Tracker API key

3. Copy the API token to your clipboard.
Setting up Pivotal Tracker integration
1. In Productboard, in the upper right, click your workspace name > Integrations.
2. Click Add new Pivotal Tracker integration.
3. Paste in the API Token.
4. Choose a Pivotal Tracker project into which you wish to push your features.

Pushing Productboard features into Pivotal Tracker
1. On the Features board, click the Add columns button and select Tasks in the Configurations bar at the right.
2. Toggle on the Pivotal Tracker task column.
3. Find the feature you'd like to push to Pivotal Tracker and click Push in the Pivotal Tracker Task column.
Entity mappings
At the time of push, you will be prompted to decide if you want to push your feature as Epic or Story. If you choose to map the feature to Pivotal Tracker Epics, the underlying Productboard subfeatures can be mapped to Pivotal Tracker Stories.
Deleting the integration
You can always deactivate the integration or delete the Pivotal Tracker task column.
Limitations
It's not yet possible to import stories/epics from Pivotal Tracker into Productboard.
