# Move from Aha!

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.

## Overview

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](https://zentrik.ai/compare/aha) covers what each tool does and what each costs.

## Before you start

1. 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!](https://zentrik.ai/docs/integrations/aha).
2. 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.
3. Add any idea statuses your team wants that Zentrik does not have yet. See [Idea statuses](https://zentrik.ai/docs/product/idea-statuses).

## Import your ideas

1. In **Discovery**, open **Ideas** and choose **New → Import ideas…**, then **Aha!**.
2. Choose the Aha! product and the Zentrik product. Filter by workflow status or dates to start with a subset.
3. Map each Aha! workflow status to a Zentrik status, and categories or custom fields to idea properties.
4. Keep **Import related Aha! votes** on, and turn on **Link voters to accounts**.
5. 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](https://zentrik.ai/docs/product/ideas-portal).

After each import, Zentrik estimates each idea’s value again.

## Import every day while you switch

1. As a workspace owner or admin, open **Settings → Integrations → Aha!** and turn on **Scheduled idea import**.
2. 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](https://zentrik.ai/docs/product/planning-and-roadmaps).
