# Next steps - Docs

## 1\. Migrate historical data from another tool

Are you migrating from another tool like PostHog?

1.  Congratulations on a great descision. Go you.
2.  Head to our [docs on historial migrations](/docs/migrate.md).

## 2\. Add PostHog to your website

Installing PostHog on both your app and website enables you track the entire funnel of a user through acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue.

It's cheap, too. You can send us [anonymous events](/docs/data/anonymous-vs-identified-events.md) from your website, which are up to 4x cheaper than the identified events used for product analytics.

You can then use our [web analytics](/docs/web-analytics.md) dashboard to track your top pages, how people find your website, and your [web vitals](/docs/web-analytics/web-vitals.md).

Read our [web analytics vs product analytics](/docs/web-analytics/web-vs-product-analytics.md) explainer for more.

## 3\. Watch your first session replay

Watching people using your product is magic.

Once you've [enabled session replay](/docs/session-replay/installation.md) in your project, head to the [what to watch tab](https://us.posthog.com/replay/templates) in session replay to watch how users navigate specific parts of your app.

Warning: watching replays is addictive, but incredibly useful.

## 4\. Import revenue and customer data into our data warehouse

When you choose PostHog, you also get a built-in data warehouse.

You can use it to [link your most valuable data](/docs/data-warehouse/sources.md) from sources like your CRM, payment processor, or database, [combine it](/docs/data-warehouse/join.md) with the event data already in PostHog, and [query](/docs/data-warehouse/query.md) across all of it.

We currently offer fully-managed import integrations for the likes of [Stripe](/docs/cdp/sources/stripe.md), [Hubspot](/docs/cdp/sources/hubspot.md), and [Salesforce](/docs/cdp/sources/salesforce.md).

We also support important data from most popular data warehouses and databases, such as [Postgres](/docs/cdp/sources/postgres.md), [BigQuery](/docs/cdp/sources/bigquery.md), and [Amazon S3](/docs/cdp/sources/s3.md).

See the full [list of PostHog data sources](/docs/cdp/sources.md) for more.

## 5\. Start sending PostHog data to other tools

As data arrives in PostHog, you can export it *immediately* to other tools using [realtime destinations](/docs/cdp/destinations.md).

You can use this for things like:

-   Conversion tracking
-   Monitoring key events with your chat platform
-   Enriching customer data in your CRM
-   Triggering automations

We have dozens of pre-configured destinations, including [Slack](/docs/cdp/destinations/slack.md), [Discord](/docs/cdp/destinations/discord.md), [Hubspot](/docs/cdp/destinations/hubspot.md), [Intercom](/docs/cdp/destinations/hubspot.md), and a [webhook destination](/docs/cdp/destinations/webhook.md) for sending events to any HTTP endpoint.

Head to the [data pipelines](/docs/cdp.md) docs for more on how you can use PostHog as your customer data platform.

You can also configure [batch exports](/docs/cdp/batch-exports/s3.md) to a data warehouse.

## 6\. Learn how to win with PostHog

PostHog exists to help you build more successful products and we provide a lot of tools to get the job done.

If you have no idea where to start, we recommend reading our guide to [Winning with PostHog](/docs/new-to-posthog/getting-hogpilled.md). It will guide you through:

-   [Creating a tracking plan](/docs/new-to-posthog/getting-hogpilled.md) by defining your North Star metric.
-   [How to track and measure activation](/docs/new-to-posthog/activation.md) – aka one of the most important metrics ever.
-   [How to think about and track retention](/docs/new-to-posthog/retention.md) of users and customers.
-   [Capturing revenue in PostHog](/docs/new-to-posthog/revenue.md), so you can monitor the health of your whole business.

## 7\. Start testing in production

At PostHog, we test in production. This doesn't mean we:

-   Commit to `main` every time we make a change.
-   Randomly click around once the code releases to make sure it works.
-   Ship code into production without testing it.

It means we use [feature flags](/docs/feature-flags.md) to ship changes safely to small internal groups at first, then to select groups of beta testers, and so on.

Feature flags + testing in production = shipping features your uses love faster.

Read more about:

-   [Installing feature flags](/docs/feature-flags/installation.md) and [creating your first flag](/docs/feature-flags/creating-feature-flags.md)
-   [How we test in production](/product-engineers/testing-in-production.md) at PostHog using feature flags
-   [Best practices for using feature flags](/docs/feature-flags/best-practices.md) in your product
-   [VS Code extension](/docs/vscode-extension.md) — manage flags, see analytics, and clean up stale flags without leaving your editor
