Bring your Aha! ideas into Zentrik with their votes, comments and the customers who asked, and keep them current every day while your team switches.
Zentrik reads Aha! and never changes it, so you can move one Aha! product at a time and keep Aha! open until you are done. Zentrik and Aha! compared covers what each tool does and what each costs.
Before you start
- Connect Aha! from Settings → Integrations → Aha! with your subdomain and an API key. The import sees what that Aha! user can see. See Zentrik + Aha!.
- Bring in the companies behind your votes: open Accounts → Import and choose Aha! idea organizations. Zentrik links each organization to the account you already have when the match is clear and creates the rest. Matches it is unsure of wait in Accounts → Review, so no company arrives twice.
- Add any idea statuses your team wants that Zentrik does not have yet. See Idea statuses.
Import your ideas
- In Discovery, open Ideas and choose New → Import ideas…, then Aha!.
- Choose the Aha! product and the Zentrik product. Filter by workflow status or dates to start with a subset.
- Map each Aha! workflow status to a Zentrik status, and categories or custom fields to idea properties.
- Keep Import related Aha! votes on, and turn on Link voters to accounts.
- Import.
Zentrik saves this mapping for every later import.
What comes across
- Ideas keep their Aha! reference numbers, with the person who asked for each one.
- Votes arrive on each idea. A proxy vote keeps its amount, opportunity link and reason, and the reason joins the idea’s comments. The amount informs the idea’s value, never the account’s ARR.
- Comments arrive from the portal and from inside Aha!, labelled by where they were written.
- Voters become people, linked to their company’s account.
- Your Ideas Portal shows the ideas Aha! shows to everyone. Every other idea stays internal until your team publishes it. See Ideas Portal.
After each import, Zentrik estimates each idea’s value again.
Import every day while you switch
- As a workspace owner or admin, open Settings → Integrations → Aha! and turn on Scheduled idea import.
- Choose the Aha! product. Each run uses the mapping saved from your last import.
The import runs once a day. It updates the ideas, votes and comments it brought before and adds what is new. A status your team changes in Zentrik stays; the others keep following Aha!.
What stays in Aha! for now
Zentrik imports ideas. Aha! features, releases, goals and roadmaps stay in Aha!. Plan the work you choose as initiatives in Zentrik; see Planning and roadmaps.
