Month-end client hours
At month end the account lead asks how much time went into Brightwave Ltd. Memtro reads the month's time entries on its projects and answers with total hours, split by person, with the notes on the largest entries.
Productive + Memtro
Hours by client, open tasks and sales deals in Productive, asked in plain words.
Connect Productive with an API token and your organisation ID, and Memtro reads projects, tasks by project, assignee or status, time entries with hours by person, client companies, deals and invoices. It sees what the token's owner can see. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can create and update tasks, to-dos, time entries, projects and deals, close deals, archive projects, permanently delete tasks or time entries, finalise a draft invoice, and email an invoice to the client, which cannot be unsent.
In Memtro
What you can do with Productive in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Productive tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

- 02Tasks with title, due date, project, task list and assignee, open or archived, filtered by project or assignee
- 03Time entries for a period, newest first, with minutes, note and project, and totals in hours by person

Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Productive. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Productive is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Finalise the draft invoice for Globex and email it to their accounts team
Sending the month's invoice
Finance lead Claire Dubois asks Memtro to finalise the October invoice for Globex and send it to their accounts address. Memtro finalises the draft, which gives it a number and locks it, then emails it from Productive with the PDF attached and the words Claire approved. Globex receives it at once.

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Productive?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a task to a task list on a Productive project; log time for a person against a service in Productive; comment on a deal or a company in Productive; update a task's title, dates, status, assignee or task list; permanently delete a task; add a to-do to a task or a deal; edit a time entry's date, minutes, note, service or task; start or stop a time entry's timer; permanently delete a time entry; create a project; rename or edit a project; archive a project; update a deal's name, dates, value, probability, status or owner; close a deal; finalize a draft invoice; email an invoice to the client. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Productive connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Productive data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Productive?+
API token and Organization ID. In Productive open Settings → API integrations, generate a new token and copy it. The token acts as you and sees what you see.
