Aha! Roadmaps | Integrate with Trello (version 1.0)

We have updated this integration to version 2.0! 2.0 integrations have all the same functionality of a 1.0 integration, plus expanded capabilities and support.

This two-way integration allows you to push your features and requirements from Aha! Roadmaps into Trello and get list/status changes back.

You may also have a need to create multiple integrations per workspace in order to accommodate how the engineering team is split up. For example, you may have an overarching workspace to manage, but there may be two teams — one for the front end and one for the back end. This can be done simply by creating multiple integrations within Aha! Roadmaps. Make sure to give them unique names to keep the multiple integrations straight.

All integrations are configured in under Settings ⚙️ Workspace. You need to be an owner in Aha! Roadmaps to set up this integration.

If you are ready to update your integration from 1.0 to 2.0, please follow these steps. You can also learn more about the 2.0 Trello integration.

Features from Aha! Roadmaps to Trello

• The following information is copied from Aha! Roadmaps when a feature is sent to Trello: feature name, feature description, requirements, and attachments.

• One Aha! Roadmaps workspace is associated with one or more Trello boards.

• Individual features can be sent to Trello using the Send to Trello option located under the Integrations dropdown in the integrations section of the feature card.

• All features in a release (that have not already been implemented or sent to Trello previously) can be sent to Trello using the Send to Trello option located under the Integrations dropdown on the release page.

• When a feature is copied to Trello, one card will be created for the feature. If the feature has requirements, then each requirement will become a checklist item on the feature card. The requirement description will be combined with the name, so Trello does not work well with long requirement descriptions.

• Only the description and attachments of a feature or requirement are sent. No to-dos or comments are included.

• The due date of the card will be set to the release date of the release that the feature belongs to.

The due date will not be set if the feature was sent from an Aha! Roadmaps backlog to Trello.

• After a feature is first sent to Trello, changes to the name, description, and requirements can also be sent to Trello using the Integrations Update Trello option on the features page or by sending all features in a release to Trello again. New requirements will also be created in Trello; however, checklist items that were created for an existing requirement are not deleted from Trello if the requirement is deleted from Aha! Roadmaps. If an attachment is deleted from the Aha! Roadmaps side, the corresponding attachment in Trello is not deleted.
