Is This Productive Email Legit?

How to tell a real Productive email from a phishing attempt, and what to do if you've already clicked or replied to a suspicious one.

If an email that looks like it’s from Productive seems off, this article helps you check whether it’s really from us.

What We Never Ask For by Email

Productive never asks you by email for:

  • Payment details

  • Your password

  • Social Security numbers or tax identification numbers

  • Downloading files from email attachments

Emails We Do Send

To keep your account secure and up to date, we email you about:

  • Security: new logins, password resets, and two-factor authentication changes

  • Billing and your subscription: failed payments, invoices, trial updates, upcoming renewals, and expiring credit cards

  • Invitations: invitations to an organization, and projects or tasks shared with you

  • Approvals and reminders: bookings, unapproved time, and budget warnings

  • Integrations and webhooks: errors or changes affecting tools you’ve connected

You can turn some of these off in Settings > Notifications. Security alerts are always sent, to protect your account.

📌 If an email mentions account activity you don’t recognize, contact Productive support.

Signs an Email Is Suspicious

  • The sender’s address doesn’t end in @outbox.productive.io or @send.productive.io.

  • It asks for personal or financial information.

  • It has attachments or links you didn’t expect.

What to Do

Don’t reply, click links, or download attachments.

If you already did:

  • Reset your Productive password straight away.

  • Change your password on any other site where you use the same one.

  • Report the email to us at support@productive.io.
