The ability to update a portal user integration programmatically turns that burden into a managed process: changes in one system flow automatically into another, preventing access gaps, reducing manual work, and maintaining a consistent user experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis feature focuses on updating the link between Aha! (product planning and roadmapping) and external portals or identity systems so that user records, roles, and synchronization settings remain accurate.

Rather than treating integrations as one-off connections you set and forget, this capability treats them as living configurations that evolve with your organization. You can change which accounts are linked, adjust who can see or edit specific features in Aha!, and control how frequently data syncs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThink of it as adjusting the rules of a pipeline that carries user identity and access details. Those rules determine which fields copy over, how often updates happen, and what happens when conflicts or errors appear. By making these adjustments through a controlled update process, you reduce manual updates across tens or hundreds of accounts and keep data consistent across the tools your teams use every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI and agentic automation elevates integration updates from a reactive IT task to a proactive governance practice.
