Laravel Productive

Productive is an agency management platform: projects, tasks, time tracking, budgets, invoicing and resource planning in one place.

This package is a typed, tested Laravel SDK for the Productive API. It handles authentication, JSON:API parsing, filtering, pagination, rate limits and retries, so your code reads like Laravel:

use Axyr\Productive\ProductiveFacade as Productive;

$tasks = Productive::tasks()->query()
    ->where('project_id', 31002)
    ->where('due_date', '>=', '2026-10-01')
    ->include('assignee')
    ->sort(TaskSort::DueDateDesc)
    ->lazy();                      // follows every page while you iterate

foreach ($tasks as $task) {
    echo $task->title . ' → ' . $task->assignee()?->attribute('first_name');
}

$task = Productive::tasks()->create(new CreateTaskData(
    title: 'Draft Q3 launch plan',
    projectId: 31002,
    taskListId: 7781,
    dueDate: now()->addWeek(),
));

Productive::tasks()->update($task->id, new UpdateTaskData(dueDate: null)); // explicit null clears; omitted fields stay untouched

Features

• Typed models and inputs. Readonly models with typed properties and relationship accessors, and input objects with named arguments. Raw attributes stay available, so fields this SDK does not know yet are never lost.
• Laravel-style querying. where, operators (>=, Operator::Contains), nested whereAny / whereAll groups, sort, include, group, plus get, lazy, all, first, count and paginate.
• Pagination. Cursor pagination by default. It falls back to page numbers for reports and for sorts the cursor cannot follow, and paginate() returns a Laravel LengthAwarePaginator.
• Fails loudly. Every error status throws a typed exception (ValidationException, NotFoundException, RateLimitException, …) with the API's error details.
• Rate limits and retries.
  • Client-side throttling keeps you within Productive's limits, shared across queue workers through the cache.
  • A 429 is retried after the reset window.
  • Reads are retried after server errors.
  • Writes are never retried after a server error, because they may already have been applied.
• Multiple organizations. Productive::withOrganization($id) and withToken($token) switch per call.
• Testing. Productive::fake() records requests, returns seeded or sensible default responses, and provides assertions such as assertCreated(). Factories build realistic models from Productive's own examples.
• Production-ready. Octane-safe scoped bindings, never sends credentials to another host, 100% line and type coverage, PHPStan at max level.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 12 or 13.

composer require axyr/laravel-productive

Add your credentials to .env. Create a token in Productive under Settings → API integrations; the organization ID is shown on the same page.

PRODUCTIVE_API_TOKEN=your-token
PRODUCTIVE_ORGANIZATION_ID=12345

Check the connection:

php artisan productive:ping

Optionally publish the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=productive-config

Usage at a glance

// Read
$task  = Productive::tasks()->find(120501, include: ['project']);
$page  = Productive::tasks()->query()->where('project_id', 1)->paginate(perPage: 50);
$count = Productive::timeEntries()->query()->where('person_id', 12)->count();

// Actions and bulk
Productive::tasks()->reposition($task->id, new RepositionTaskData(moveAfterId: 555));
Productive::timeEntries()->approve(84848214);
Productive::timeEntries()->bulkCreate([$entryA, $entryB]);

// Reports
Productive::reports()->timeReports()->query()
    ->group(TimeReportGroup::Person)
    ->where('after', '2026-09-01')
    ->all();

// Errors
try {
    Productive::tasks()->create(['project_id' => 1]);
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
    $e->first('title'); // "can't be blank"
}

Full reference in docs/:

• Configuration: credentials, multiple organizations, retries, throttling, feature flags
• Querying: filters, operators, logical groups, sorting, includes
• Pagination: get, lazy, all, first, count, paginate, and cursor versus page numbers
• Models and relationships: typed properties, raw attributes, included relationships
• Creating, updating and actions: input objects, Undefined versus null, actions, bulk operations
• Reports: grouping, report pagination and rate limits
• Errors, retries and rate limits: the exception hierarchy, retry policy and queue jobs
• Testing: Productive::fake(), fake responses, factories, assertions
• Architecture: how the layers fit together
• Development: quality gate, the vendored spec, recording real responses and how endpoints are added
• Endpoint reference: every endpoint with the SDK method that calls it and its operation key
• API differences: where the live API differs from Productive's spec, and what the SDK does about it

Endpoint coverage

The SDK is built against Productive's OpenAPI spec, vendored at resources/openapi/productive.json: 668 operations across 117 resource groups. Every resource is generated from that spec by composer generate:

• work management: projects, tasks, task lists, folders/boards, task dependencies, to-dos, workflows and statuses, pages and docs, discussions, comments, attachments
• resource planning: bookings, events, holidays, entitlements, resource requests, placeholders, memberships
• time tracking: time entries (with bulk operations), timers, timesheets, time tracking policies
• CRM: companies, people, contact entries, pipelines, deal statuses, lost reasons, emails, tags
• financials: deals and budgets, services and service types, prices, rate cards, sections, contracts, expenses (with bulk operations), purchase orders, bills, salaries, overheads, revenue distributions, proposals, document types and styles, tax rates, bank accounts, exchange rates
• invoicing: invoices, line items (with bulk operations), invoice attributions and templates, automatic invoicing rules, payments, payment reminder sequences, e-invoice identities
• reports and dashboards: all 26 reports, report categories, dashboards, widgets, pulses
• organization and administration: organizations, memberships and subscriptions, users, teams, roles, subsidiaries, custom fields, filters, templates, skills, job roles, approvals, surveys, notifications, activities, deleted items, custom domains, integrations, webhooks, agents, artifacts
• authentication: sessions, passwords, invitations
• public links: shared pages, artifacts and proposals by uuid (Productive::public()->pages()->find($uuid)), sent without the organization header

How the code is generated is described in Development.

[!IMPORTANT] Reads are checked against the live API; writes only partly. Every method is generated from Productive's OpenAPI spec. The models are also checked against real responses recorded from a trial organization: where the spec's types are wrong, the SDK follows the API, and API differences lists every case. Of the writes, 14 creates were sent to the live API, and the fields it required are required in the inputs. Updates, deletes and actions are checked against the spec and the testing fake. Please open an issue if a call behaves differently from what is documented here.

Quality

Every change must pass composer quality:

• Pint
• PHPStan at max level
• PHPMD
• Pest with 100% line coverage and 100% type coverage

Mutation testing of the hand-written code and the generator (composer test:mutate, 100% gate) runs nightly in CI. Request bodies in the contract tests are validated against the spec's JSON Schemas, and fixtures are Productive's own examples.
