Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native AppDrag integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right AppDrag 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 AppDrag data, across all 11 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke AppDrag 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 AppDrag, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when AppDrag is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on AppDrag, and when to use it.

Create database record
Use this when you need to add a new entry to an AppDrag database table from a form submission or external trigger.
Update database record
Modify existing data in a specific table. Common path: updating stock levels or changing user profile details.
Delete database record
Remove a record from the database by ID. Use this for cleanup tasks or handling user deletion requests.
Get database record
Pull a single record by its unique identifier to use as context for other workflow steps.
List database records
Fetch a collection of records from a table. Use this to audit data or generate summary reports.
Search database
Query the AppDrag database using specific filters to find matching records based on custom fields.
Update page content
Change the HTML or text content of a specific page. Use this for dynamic landing page updates.
Get page settings
Pull the current metadata and configuration for a specific page to verify SEO tags or headers.
Create API endpoint
Provision a new API route to handle incoming data or serve custom content to a frontend.
Update API config
Modify the logic or settings of an existing API endpoint without opening the AppDrag editor.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates using the API permissions assigned to the token provided during the connection process. When you connect your AppDrag account, you define the scope of access the agent has over your projects. If you provide a token with read only access to a specific project, the agent will be unable to perform write actions like creating or deleting records. We recommend creating a dedicated API user in AppDrag with the minimum viable permissions needed for your specific workflows to maintain a strict security posture. This ensures that the agent can only touch the tables and pages you have explicitly authorized.
Yes. Ceven can connect to multiple AppDrag projects within a single workspace. When you define a workflow, you specify which project ID the agent should target for each action. This allows you to build complex cross project workflows, such as mirroring a global settings table from a master project into several regional client sites. The agent tracks the project context for each step, so you can pull data from one site and push it to another without needing to switch connections manually during the execution of the workflow.
Yes. AppDrag imposes API rate limits that vary based on your subscription tier. If a Ceven workflow attempts to push thousands of records in a tight loop, you may encounter 429 Too Many Requests errors. To handle this, Ceven implements an automatic retry logic with exponential backoff. However, for very large data migrations, we recommend using the batch update patterns rather than individual record calls. If you are on a basic tier, you will hit these limits faster, so it is important to pace your automation triggers to match your AppDrag plan limits.
It depends on your AppDrag configuration. If you have automatic deployments enabled, the change will trigger a build process and reflect on the live site once the deployment completes. If you have disabled automatic deployments for a specific project, the agent will update the content in the AppDrag database or editor, but the live site will remain unchanged until you manually trigger a rebuild. You can use the Trigger site rebuild action within a Ceven workflow to automate this final step after a series of content updates are finished.
Ceven can interact with existing tables and modify records, but creating entirely new table schemas is currently a manual process within the AppDrag visual editor. Once you have defined the table and its fields in the AppDrag dashboard, Ceven can fully manage the data within that table. This limitation ensures that your database structure remains intentional and prevents the agent from accidentally creating redundant or poorly indexed tables that could degrade the performance of your site or API.
The agent automatically handles the encoding and decoding of strings to ensure that special characters, HTML tags, and emojis are preserved when moving data into AppDrag. When you use the Update page content action, Ceven sends the data as a sanitized string that AppDrag can interpret. If you are pushing raw HTML, the agent ensures the syntax is preserved so that your layout does not break. We recommend testing content updates on a staging page first to ensure the visual rendering in AppDrag matches your expectations.
Yes. You can create a recurring workflow that uses the List database records action to pull all data from your AppDrag tables and write it into a CSV file in Google Drive or a row in a BigQuery table. This creates a point in time snapshot of your data. Because Ceven can handle pagination, it can walk through large tables to ensure every record is captured. You can set this to run nightly or weekly, providing an external backup layer independent of the AppDrag platform hosting.
Ceven uses a robust error handling framework. If an AppDrag action fails due to a network timeout or a server error, the agent will attempt to retry the call three times. If the error is a validation error, such as a missing required field in a database record, the agent will stop the workflow and send a notification to the owner with the specific error message from AppDrag. This prevents the agent from entering a loop of failed requests and allows you to fix the data mapping issue before restarting the process.
