Overview

Product Manager Dashboard with key metrics and customer context charts
The Product Manager Dashboard automation helps product leaders stay on top of product health, customer feedback, and sentiment trends without manual status compilation. This scheduled automation pulls real-time data from your product and tracking systems (such as Linear, HubSpot, Stripe, Amplitude, and Sentry) to generate a comprehensive daily or weekly report of epic completions, ranked feedback themes, and customer sentiment distribution. With this automation active, Zenflow automatically spawns a background agent task every morning to query product metrics, compile team-wide progress, and publish a live-rendered HTML dashboard directly in your workspace.

​
How It Works

This workspace automation executes according to your configured schedule (typically every weekday morning or weekly) and follows a structured execution pipeline:
1

Spawn Scheduled Task

At the configured execution time, Zenflow launches a standalone task titled Run Product Manager Dashboard using the Auto workflow.
2

Locate and Verify Skill

The agent searches for the globally installed product-manager skill across standard agent execution paths on the host machine.
3

Automatic Installation

If the skill is not found, the agent automatically installs it globally using the Zencoder package registry, ensuring zero-configuration execution.
4

Compile Metrics & Generate Dashboard

The agent reads the loaded skill specification, executes the underlying product metrics, roadmap prioritization, and Jira/Linear/HubSpot queries, and compiles the live dashboard report.

​

Custom Installation Details

When creating or modifying the automation, the underlying execution flow is configured as follows:
Create Product Manager Automation dialog
When the automation executes, the agent follows these explicit technical instructions:
The agent checks for a globally installed skill by verifying the following local paths in order:
  • ~/.agents/skills/product-manager/SKILL.md
  • ~/.zencoder/skills/product-manager/SKILL.md
  • ~/.codex/skills/product-manager/SKILL.md
  • ~/.claude/skills/product-manager/SKILL.md
  • ~/.gemini/skills/product-manager/SKILL.md
If the skill is not present in any of the checked paths, the agent automatically triggers a global installation:
Once the command completes, the agent re-scans the directories to locate the newly installed SKILL.md file.
The agent reads and parses the SKILL.md file from the identified path to initialize the specialized prompts, workflows, and execution context.
The agent executes the dashboard generation sequence outlined in the skill, compiling:
  • Weekly Product Health: Tracking epic completion rates, active epics aligned with objectives, and shipping velocity trends
  • Customer Feedback Synthesizer: Aggregating and prioritizing key customer-tier themes and sentiments (positive, neutral, negative)
  • Ranked Feedback Themes: Organizing customer feedback by volume, priority score, and customer segments (Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB)
  • Contextual Quotes: Surfacing specific key customer quotes directly alongside categorized feedback themes for actionable engineering insights
For the best results, we recommend setting up the automation with the following default parameters:
