Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Amplitude integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Amplitude calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Amplitude data, across all 54 of its actions.
  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Amplitude access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.
  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Amplitude, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Amplitude is unclear instead of plowing ahead.
  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Amplitude.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Amplitude action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven manages the asynchronous nature of the Amplitude Cohort API. When you request a cohort, Amplitude does not return the user list immediately because large segments take time to process. Ceven initiates the request and then periodically polls the status endpoint. Once Amplitude marks the export as complete, Ceven retrieves the final list of users and passes them to the next step in your workflow. This means you do not have to build your own polling logic or wait around for a file to be ready; the agent handles the wait time and only triggers the subsequent actions once the data is fully available for use.
Yes. Ceven can read your entire list of event types and categories to find inconsistencies. You can set up a workflow that searches for event names that do not follow your company naming convention, such as using lowercase instead of CamelCase. The agent can then use the update event type action to rename them or move them into the correct category. This is especially useful during a product migration or after a period of rapid growth where multiple developers may have created overlapping events. It ensures your analytics remain clean without requiring a manual audit of every single event in the UI.
Ceven uses the Amplitude HTTP V2 API, which is highly scalable, but you must be aware of Amplitude rate limits. Depending on your specific Amplitude plan, there are limits on the number of requests per second you can send to the ingestion endpoint. If your workflow triggers a massive burst of events, Amplitude may return a 429 too many requests error. Ceven implements an exponential backoff strategy to handle these responses, meaning the agent will automatically retry the request after a short delay. However, for extremely high volume migrations, we recommend batching events to avoid hitting these limits and ensuring stable data delivery.
Ceven uses the Amplitude Identify API to modify user traits. Unlike a standard event which tracks an action, an identify call updates the state of the user. For example, you can tell Amplitude that a user is now a premium member or has changed their industry. This happens without needing to trigger a fake event. Once the property is updated in Amplitude, it immediately becomes available for use in your cohort definitions. This allows you to create dynamic segments that automatically update as Ceven pushes new property values based on triggers from your other SaaS tools like Salesforce or Zendesk.
Absolutely. You can build a workflow where the creation of a new project in your project management tool automatically triggers the creation of a corresponding event category in Amplitude. This ensures that your data organization mirrors your product roadmap. The agent validates the category name before creation to avoid duplicates. This is a powerful way to maintain a strict data governance model across a large organization where many different product teams are adding new tracking points. It prevents the common problem of having a fragmented taxonomy where similar events are scattered across different categories.
Yes. If a team member accidentally deletes an event type in the Amplitude UI, it can cause gaps in your reporting. Ceven can use the restore event type action to bring it back. This is safer than creating a new event with the same name because it preserves the historical link to the original event ID. The agent can be configured to monitor for deleted events or simply be used as a recovery tool when a mistake is spotted. This ensures that your long term trend lines in Amplitude do not break due to a simple human error during a cleanup session.
Ceven can manage both device IDs and user IDs. When sending events or updating properties, the agent can specify the user ID to ensure the data maps to the correct person. If you are migrating users from an anonymous state to a known state, the agent can use the identify API to map a device ID to a permanent user ID. This is critical for maintaining a seamless user journey across different sessions and devices. By automating this mapping, you ensure that your behavioral funnels in Amplitude are accurate and that users are not counted as two separate people when they finally sign up for an account.
While the Amplitude HTTP V2 API is designed for real time ingestion, there is typically a small processing lag before the data appears in the charts and cohorts. This is a characteristic of how Amplitude processes data internally. While the event is received almost instantly, it may take a few minutes to be indexed and reflected in a cohort membership list. If your workflow relies on an event triggering a cohort change which then triggers another action, we recommend adding a short delay step in Ceven to account for this indexing time to ensure the cohort has updated before the agent tries to pull the user list.
